In Relation To

While the team is working on master we're keeping an eye on the other two actively maintained branches:

Just after the release of Hibernate ORM 4.2.8.Final last week, we realized one of the many performance improvements had broken integration with latest stable release of Hibernate Search 4.4.0.Final.

We just tagged and uploaded all artifacts for both:

Past night I've uploaded the Hibernate Search release 4.4.0.CR1 (Candidate Release for 4.4) to Sourceforce and the Maven repositories.

Hibernate Search 4.4.0.Beta1 is ready for downloads! You can get it either from Maven repositories or from Sourceforge.

Emmanuel is headed to JavaOne, where you can see his hands-on presentations: live on stage coding showing the latest features of Hibernate Search and Bean Validation. It's a unique experience to see how easy it is to get started with these technologies, and also what powerful features they can provide you in just one hour coding.

This 4.4.0.Alpha2 release might look like quite boring to end users as there apparently are no exciting new features.

It has been quite some time since I have done my last Hibernate Search release announcement, so I am especially happy to get the 4.4 release train rolling. Hibernate Search 4.4.0.Alpha1 is now out and ready for download, either from the JBoss Maven Repository under the GAV org.hibernate:hibernate-search:4.4.0.Alpha1 or via SourceForge. The release contains fixes for 16 issues which you can closer inspect in the Jira release notes.
