In Relation To

I am ending my day totally exhausted but happy. Today we organised Red Hat 4 Kids in the Red Hat France office.

Every year at Red Hat, we organise a Red Hat Week to celebrate our culture. And in good open source community way, each local office expresses how it pleases this event. This year, I proposed to do a Devoxx4Kids for the children of French Red Hatters.

Red Hat 4 Kids (aka a copy paste of Devoxx 4 Kids) initiates children from 6 to 12+ to the notion of programming. Sharing our knowledge to teach them what daddy or mummy does. Sounds cool.

I am happy to announce the availability of Hibernate Validator 5.2.2.Final.

This release fixes several bugs, including a nasty regression around private property declarations in inheritance hierarchies and a tricky issue related to classloading in environments such as OSGi.

We also closed a gap in the API for constraint declaration which allows to ignore annotation-based constraints for specific methods, parameters etc.:

I’m happy to announce the latest final release of Hibernate Search: Hibernate Search 5.5 Final. We mainly consolidated the features included in the latest candidate release and worked on fixing some bugs.

As a reminder on versions:

Hibernate Search now requires at least Hibernate ORM 5.0.0.Final, and at the time of writing only Infinispan 8.0.1.Final supports real time replication of an Apache Lucene 5.3 index.

"Order, ooorder!" - Sometimes not only the honourable members of the House of Commons need to be called to order, but also the results of Hibernate Search queries need to be ordered in a specific way.

To do so, just pass a Sort object to your full-text query before executing it, specifying the field(s) to sort on:

The first Candidate Release for Hibernate Search 5.5 is now available, introducing integration with Apache Lucene 5.3 and several nice improvements.

As a reminder on versions: Hibernate Search now requires Hibernate ORM 5.0.0.Final at least, and at the time of writing only Infinispan 8.0.1.Final supports real time replication of an Apache Lucene 5.3 index.
