Today I have released Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.Final). This has been a long time coming and is the result of the efforts of many folks. Thanks to everyone who helped us get here with fixes, bug reports, suggestions, input and encouragement!
A lot of development has gone into 5.0. Here are the big points:
In the last couple of months we’ve been working to upgrade Hibernate Search to use Apache Lucene 5,
to keep up with the greatest releases from the Lucene community.
Today Hibernate Search 5.5.0.Alpha1 is available!
As the version suggests this is the first cut, but we’ll also need your feedback and suggestions to better assess the needed steps to evolve this into a great, efficient and stable Final release.
Hibernate ORM 4.2.20.Final was released 24-July-2015. At the time it was released, SourceForge was out of commission so distributions could not be uploaded. I decided to delay the announcement until SourceForge was back in commission and I was able to release 4.3.11.Final on 5-Aug-2015.
Today I released a fourth candidate release for Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.CR4). The purpose was entirely to change the defaults for some settings. This allowed some additional fixes and additional documentation work to make it in.
While Hibernate ORM applies some more polish before releasing the final version, so did the Hibernate Search team.
Hibernate Search version 5.4.0.CR2 is now available!
It was built and tested with Hibernate ORM 5.0.0.CR3, again we’re just waiting for that to be final but decided
to release another Candidate Release as some fixes and improvements were recently applied.
Yesterday I released the third candidate release for Hibernate ORM 5.0 (5.0.0.CR3). We felt another CR was warranted because we had some minor integration (SPI) work that we needed to make in to Final, but too much development had happened since the second CR to be considered risk free to just include everything into Final. At any rate CR3 got lots of great TLC :) The complete set of changes can be seen in the Jira changelog. The main changes include:
Hibernate Search version 5.4.0.CR1 is now available! It was built and tested with Hibernate ORM 5.0.0.CR2,
essentially it’s all ready for ORM 5 and we’ll just be waiting for this to be marked Final.

The Hibernate team is proud to announce the first candidate release for 5.0. The main changes since the Beta2 release include:
The primary reason for this release is to add support for running Hibernate ORM with Infinispan 7.2.1.Final as a runtime dependency. Hibernate still uses Infinispan 6.0.0.Final by default.
