In Relation To

The second Beta of Hibernate ORM 6.0 has just been released.

Quite a lot has gone into this release, but at a high level -

Hibernate Reactive 1.1.0.Final with Vert.x 4.2.1 is now available!

Vert.x 4.2 not only contains several new features and improvements, it also allows us to start working on the integration with Oracle.

A complete list of changes is available on the Hibernate Reactive issue tracker.

Thank you!

Hibernate Reactive 1.0.1.Final is now available!

This maintenance release contains only performance improvements.

If you’ve missed it, Sanne Grinovero wrote an interesting analysis about Hibernate Reactive benchmarks in this post from last week: Hibernate Reactive: is it worth it?

Highly recommended!

As we spent the last year preparing for the first stable release of Hibernate Reactive we have been trying to answer some questions we had.

Hibernate Reactive 1.0.0.Final is the first production-ready release of Hibernate Reactive, the only object-relational mapping solution that supports non-blocking database drivers and a reactive style of interaction with the database.

Hibernate Reactive now supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Db2, SQL Server, and CockroachDB, and features almost all the functionality of the original Hibernate ORM. Under the hood, Hibernate Reactive uses the Vert.x non-blocking SQL client libraries.

Testing by the Hibernate team shows that use of Hibernate Reactive can, in at least some circumstances, significantly improve performance in situations of high database server load, compared to the use of traditional ORM over JDBC. (However, we must caution that a reactive system isn’t faster than a non-reactive program all or even most of the time!)

We just published three maintenance releases for Hibernate Search: 6.0.7.Final, 5.11.10.Final and 5.10.12.Final.

These releases mainly upgrade Hibernate Search to the latest compatible Hibernate ORM versions, add deprecations in the 5.x versions for features that are no longer present in 6.0, and fix a few bugs.

The Hibernate team is pleased to announce availability of version 5.6.0.Final of our flagship ORM library.

Compared to previous candidate releases, not much has changed:

Hibernate Reactive 1.0.0.CR10 is now available!

This release adds support for automatic schema validation and update for MySQL, Db2 and MS SQL Server. We’ve also changed the openSession and openStateless methods for the creation of a new session, so you might see some compilation errors after the upgrade.

A complete list of changes is available on the Hibernate Reactive issue tracker.

Thanks a lot!

The first Beta of Hibernate ORM 6.0 has just been released.

We had a few main focuses for this Beta:

The main branch of Hibernate ORM, which will soon be promoted as our 5.6 release, is looking good and stable; we’re happy to announce tag 5.6.0.CR1 was released today and should already be available from your favourite Maven mirrors.

Compared to previous 5.6.0.Beta2, you should see no differences:
