In Relation To

We just released Hibernate ORM 5.6.0.Beta1; the 5.6.x series will be rather light on features as all stronger improvements are now reserved for versions 6+, but we’re starting a cleanup so to help you get prepared with the migration to six.

This is also a strategy to allow us to be more conservative with the patches we apply to 5.5 series, which we will maintain for longer like we do already with 5.3 and 5.4 but somewhat delaying backports of fixes to these branches, to give us all that extra level of confidence.

Today, we published a new maintenance release of Hibernate ORM 5.3: 5.3.22.Final.

Hibernate ORM 6.0 Alpha9 has just been released.

The main design goal for 6.0 is to improve even more Hibernate’s through-put performance. High-load performance testing showed Hibernate’s approach of reading values from ResultSet by name to be its most limiting factor in scaling throughput. At its most basic, 6.0 is all about changing from its old strategy of read-by-name to read-by-position. But that simple goal has a lot of ramifications.

With Alpha9, the APIs are really starting to stabilize which is great.

Hibernate ORM 5.5.6.Final is now available, with a single bugfix to hibernate-jpamodelgen: HHH-14768

Many thanks to Falko Modler for reporting the issue!

Hibernate ORM 5.5.5.Final was released today.

It’s our most recent stable version, with only minimal changes to address issues identified in the previous release.

This is also our "lightest" release ever, in terms of memory consumption. But this is the result of many years of work, not any specific change in this particular build, so I’ll follow up with a dedicated analysis as we collect more data.
