Today, we published a new maintenance release of Hibernate ORM 5.4: 5.4.28.Final.

This exciting new project was announced by Gavin King just a month ago; if you’ve missed it please check Introducing Hibernate Reactive.

We just published a bugfix release for Hibernate Search: 5.11.8.Final.

Happy new year to all!

During the break we released two versions of Hibernate ORM: both 5.4.26.Final and 5.4.27.Final, and couldn’t announce them properly.

So now feel free to ignore the already out of date .26 and jump to .27.

Jakarta EE 9 is an iterative release on top of EE 8 with the main purpose of renaming all the javax. packages to the jakarta. packages.

For a while, we will provide equivalent Hibernate Validator versions for both EE 8 and EE 9: Hibernate Validator 6.x will keep the javax. packages while Hibernate Validator 7.x moved to the jakarta. packages.

We just released Hibernate Validator 6.1.7.Final which contains some minor fixes.

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator and it is a drop-in replacement for 6.1.6.Final.

We also released 6.0.22.Final.

We just published the first stable release of Hibernate Search 6: version 6.0.0.Final.

With more than 900 tickets addressed over the course of 20 alphas and betas, Hibernate Search 6 really is a major release, and it shows.

The most obvious changes: an overhauled API better suited to working with Elasticsearch (but that still works perfectly with embedded Lucene), and upgrades from Lucene 5 to 8 and from Elasticsearch 5.6 to 7.

But it doesn’t stop there: a safer and more concise Search DSL, easier mapping, more powerful bridges, smarter automatic indexing, nested documents, …​
