In Relation To

Hibernate Search 4.2.0.Final is ready for download; grab the distribution from Sourceforge or use the Maven artifacts.

Hibernate Search v.4.2.0.CR1 has just been released. Mostly bug fixes and performance improvements but also an easier way to deploy in JBoss AS 7 or JBoss EAP 6.

The latest Hibernate Search beta v. 4.2.0.Beta2 is available!

Inspired by these questions on the Search forum and stackoverflow I decided to blog about different solutions for the problem using only the tools available in Search right now (4.1.1.Final). But let's start with the problem.

A bugfix release for Hibernate Search 4.1 ! Some of you have been reporting reduced performance after migrating from 3.4 or 4.0, which was not expected at all as the internals got smarter at each release. It turns out there was a quite critical bug: file handle leaks.

Hibernate Search is a full-text search engine for your persistent domain model.

Another CR for Hibernate Search 4.1 is ready! Even being in candidate release phase, we introduced something more than the usual minor bugfixes, as the following improvements are too nice to delay and technically not very risky.

We have decided to do a second release candidate for Hibernate Search 4.1. We fixed a couple of issues related to clustering and how it works in a modular environment like JBoss AS 7. In particular, we made sure it works fine for JBoss AS 7.1.
