In Relation To

It took a while to release it (due to other work that needed to be completed first), and it took me a couple of weeks to announce it (i.e. until now), but my bit of news for today is this: the first release of our CDI Spring bridge, aka Seam Spring 3.1.0.Alpha1 is out.

We have some exciting news on Ceylon, the new JVM based programming language Gavin has been discussing on this blog. We now have a website, a blog and opened up all our source code. Let's dive into some details.

I'm happy to say we finally fixed the pesky @Specializes bug

Moving to steadily towards a Hibernate Search 4 we just released Hibernate Search 4.0.0.CR2. In total we managedto address 32 issues. If you are interested in the details have a look at the Jira release notes.

I saw someone is asking what new in Hibernate Core 4.0, so I take sometime and try to summary it here. first of all, please see:

With Maven Surefire playing tricks on us, we unfortunately missed a few regressions with the latest 1.1.3.Final release.

Hibernate Core 4.0.0.CR6 has just been released. The complete list of changes can be found in the JIRA release notes.

I'm happy to announce new Weld 1.1.3.Final release.

Fresh back from JUDCon 2011:London, I quickly want to blog about my Hibernate OGM presentation. For the impatient, all the code and the presentation itself is available on GitHub - ogm-kitchensink. The README.md gets you started with building, testing and deploying the code. Deployment is possible into a local JBoss AS 7 instance as well as into OpenShift Express.
