Hibernate 6.5.0.CR2
6.5 brings many new features, in addition to many improvements and fixes.
We are pleased to announce the releases of Hibernate Search 7.1.1.Final, 7.0.1.Final and 6.2.4.Final.
While these releases are mainly to address some minor documentation discrepancies, they also bring compatibility with newer versions of Elasticsearch and OpenSearch and a few bugfixes.
Today we’re excited to announce that Hibernate is moving to the Commonhaus Foundation. For the last 20 years, development of Hibernate has been funded and sponsored by JBoss, and then by Red Hat. This support will continue just as before, since Hibernate remains a critical component of JBoss EAP, WildFly, and Quarkus, but the project itself will now be hosted on neutral ground.

One of the most important experiences of my career was working with Linda DeMichiel from Sun, Mike Keith from TopLink, Evan Ireland from Sybase, and others, to design and write the first version of the Java Persistence specification.
Today this technology enjoys broad acceptance, even among former critics. But in recent years, despite a name change to Jakarta Persistence, the spec has not evolved rapidly. Not until now, that is. Over the last year or so, Lukas Jungmann from Oracle and I have been working rather hard to bring you the biggest release of Persistence in a long time.
This post will concentrate on new features we’ve added to Jakarta Persistence. It’s worth mentioning that quite a lot of work has gone into clarifying the semantics of existing features, and rewriting certain sections of the spec for clarity and readability. This is an ongoing effort. The spec is more than 500 pages in length; rewriting such text without accidentally changing its meaning is a slow and painstaking process.
In a previous post I talked about Jakarta Data. Alignment of the two specifications has been a further priority.

Jakarta Data is a new specification for persistence in Java, scheduled for release as part of the EE 11 platform. Whereas Jakarta Persistence provides a mature and extremely feature-rich foundation for object/relational mapping solutions like Hibernate, Jakarta Data aims to offer a somewhat simplified programming model, but one which is also suitable for use with non-relational databases.
Hibernate 6.5.0.CR1
6.5 brings many new features, in addition to many improvements and fixes.
We are pleased to announce the release of Hibernate Search 7.1.0.Final.
Compared to Hibernate Search 7.0, this release introduces vector search capabilities, allows looking up the capabilities of each field in the metamodel, adds a new query string predicate, simplifies the entity registration in the Standalone POJO mapper, brings compatibility with Elasticsearch 8.12 and OpenSearch 2.12, upgrades to Lucene 9.9, and brings other bugfixes and improvements.
We just published Hibernate Search 7.1.0.CR1, a first candidate release of the next minor version of Hibernate Search.
This version brings a lot of updates and improvements for working with a Standalone POJO mapper, new query string predicate, and takes advantage of Elasticsearch 8.12 to remove some of the limitations on vector search capabilities.
Today, we published a new maintenance release of Hibernate ORM: 6.4.4.Final.
