I have just released 4.3.1.Final, the first bugfix release for Hibernate ORM 4.3. In addition to bug fixes, a few improvements of note include:
The Hibernate team is proud to announce the Hibernate ORM 4.3.0.Final Release. With this release, Hibernate is now a certified implementation of the JPA 2.1 specification. Certified awesomeness!
The Hibernate team is proud to announce the 4.3.0.CR1 release of Hibernate ORM. This is the first release candidate for 4.3 and JPA 2.1 support. For those who maybe are not familiar with our release methodology, this means that in 2-3 weeks this release will essentially be re-tagged as Final unless some critical bugs are reported with it in the meantime.
Version 4.3.0.Beta5 release of the Hibernate ORM project has just been released. This is a step closer towards JPA 2.1 compliance, but also lots of other goodies. JPA 2.1 work of note includes:

The Hibernate team is pleased to announce today's release of Hibernate 4.3.0.Beta3. Support for entity graphs is still a work in progress, but all other JPA 2.1 features should be fully operational. Specific JPA 2.1 features fully functional as of this release include:

However, the web abounds with good summaries of the new features; for example:
Callable statement support
The soon-to-be final JPA 2.1 specification adds standardized support for dealing with JDBC CallableStatements (stored procedure and function calls). Arun Gupta has a decent summary of the initial JPA 2.1 features, including Stored procedure support, at https://blogs.oracle.com/arungupta/entry/jpa_2_1_early_draft. Standardized here means both across providers as well as across database vendors. Pretty sweet. As much as I liked the idea of standarized support for handling callable statements, I was not overly thrilled with certain aspects of the proposed JPA StoredProcedureQuery API. My worries were mainly around how the outputs were accessed, especially when multiple results are expected. Let's first look at a simple example of a procedure returning a result:
