In Relation To

Recently, we've started to hear complaints that we don't put enough effort into free support in the Hibernate forums. This really kinda hurts, since everyone /used/ to comment that we gave such /great/ support, and since I still spend hours most days reading and responding to forum posts. I don't get paid for this, and I rarely get thanked for it either (even by the people I do get time to respond to). I've been doing this for almost three years now.

After more than a year of activity, development of the Hibernate2 branch has finally been wound up; Hibernate 2.1.3 will be one of the last releases and represents a rock-solid POJO persistence solution with essentially all the functionality needed by a typical Java application. Any future release of Hibernate 2.1 will contain only bugfixes. The branch that we have been calling 2.2, will actually be released as version 3.
