While the team is busy on significant internal refactoring, we also accumulated 30 minor fixes and improvements which have been merged in the master branch for Hibernate Search 5.

Today we released yet another milestone for the Hibernate Search 5 train. We worked in parallel on multiple fronts; the most notable changes are:

Last night I uploaded two bugfix releases of Hibernate Search stable branches:

Version 5.0.0.Alpha3 is now available: now integrating with Apache Lucene 4.7.1, which was released just 24 hours before.

The release 5.0.0.Alpha2 is now available on our shiny new website: as the alpha1 release also did, it integrates with Apache Lucene 4.6.1, but now we do it better ;-)

The first milestone using the latest Apache Lucene is now available, having version 5.0.0.Alpha1.

Hibernate Search 4.5.0.Final is available now.

Latest release from the 4.5 branch is now available:

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.
