Following the "release early, release often" motto, here comes a new version of Hibernate Validator, 6.0.9.Final.

This blog post is the first of a series on exploring JPMS modularity patterns for specification APIs. In this part we’re going to look into how implementations of a specification API can be bootstrapped in a portable way and how such implementations can access the private state of modules of the user of the API. As discussed a while ago, the latter is a common requirement; for instance JPA providers must do so for reading and writing entity state.

I published a first blog post last October to share an update about our performance work based on 6.0.4.Final.
