In Relation To

Yaay, we made it! :)

We have just released 3.5.0-CR-2. The main focus for this release was bugfixes and documentation.

I am pleased to announce that we have just released Hibernate version 3.5.0-CR-1. As a refresher, Hibernate follows the JBoss versioing scheme where CR is a Candidate for Release (what many of you might call RC). The main stated goal of 3.5 is JPA 2 compliance. This is the first release we believe achieves that goal entirely. In fact we are in the process of certifying for standalone JPA 2 compliance and have integrated this CR into the imminent JBoss AS M2 release as part of their effort towards full Java EE 6 compliance.

In terms of JPA 2, its really easier to start talking about things not yet implemented :) The set of missing features are defined by the unresolved subtasks of the following 2 Jira issues:

Specific JPA 2 related enhancements from Beta-2 include:

The second release towards JPA 2 support. Specific JPA 2 related enhancements from Beta-1 include:

This is the first release towards supporting JPA 2. Most of the APIs are implemented. Some know limitations for this beta include:

Just got done releasing 3.3.2 with tons of fixes/enhancements/improvements including some much needed documentation updates and again building translated docs.

I just pushed a new Hibernate Core maintenance release 3.2.7 for download. It is mostly minor fixes and improvements; check out the specifics in the change log either in Jira or SourceForge.

Along with Seam 2.1 comes a handful of enhancements to seam-gen. These changes are a culmination of the mods I made to the seam-gen project that forms the basis of the sample code for Seam in Action. Perhaps after reading this entry, you'll conclude that the enhancements go well beyond modest.
