In Relation To

Last night the modern JakartaEE server WildFly released the 13th version and among the list of enhancements you can find an update to all included Hibernate libraries.

Actually it includes both sets of old and new versions of Hibernate libraries!

WildFly 13, like version 12, aims at JavaEE 7 certification so if you start it via its default configuration you will get the old set of Hibernate libraries: Hibernate ORM 5.1.x to implement the JPA 2.1 specification, the older matching Hibernate Search, and the old Hibernate Validator providing the Bean Validation 1.1 implementation.

Today is a good time for some maintenance releases of Hibernate Search.

We released all three branches currently in maintenance mode:

We just published Hibernate Search version 5.8.0.Beta1, which is now compatible with Elasticsearch versions 5.x.

I’m honoured to confirm that I’ll be at Devoxx UK this May in London.

Come along in Gallery Hall at 12:55 on Thursday 11th of May to see a quick demo of Hibernate OGM used to migrate a JPA application from using a relational database to using a fast, scalable and highly available in memory data grid.

We announced support for storing data in Infinispan over the Hot Rod protocol in Hibernate OGM version 5.1, now is your chance to see it in action.

Today we release Hibernate OGM 5.1.0.Beta1 and 5.0.3.Final.

In version 5.1 we introduce an amazing new feature: support for storing data in Infinispan Server using the Java Hot Rod client, encoding your data into Google Protobuffers, while handling all the nasty mapping automatically.

Today we have three releases of Hibernate Search!

I’m proud to announce our team is a bit larger nowadays, and more contributors are volunteering too, so we managed to increase the development pace. Today we release version 5.6.0.Beta3, 5.7.0.Alpha1 and 5.5.5.Final.

This summer was relatively quiet in terms of releases, but many have been testing and improving the Beta1 release of our Hibernate Search / Elasticsearch integration.

So today we release version 5.6.0.Beta2 with 45 fixes and enhancements!

For a detailed list of all improvements, see this JIRA query.

After over 60 resolved tasks, we’re proud to release Hibernate Search version 5.6.0.Beta1.

The Elasticsearch integration made significant progress, and we believe it to be ready for wider usage.

While the team has been busy implementing great new features such as the Elasticsearch integration for the next 5.6 release, some of you provided interesting feedback on our stable release.

The summary of the feedback I heard is that migrating to the new sorting requirements can be confusing, and there were some issues with our Faceting implementation.

Hibernate Search version 5.5.3.Final is available now, fixing the reported issues and improving the error messages around sorting.

The changelog is rather small, so this time I’ll post it verbatim:

Having fixed several issues and tasks since the previous milestone, it’s time to publish our third milestone towards Elasticsearch integration: Hibernate Search version 5.6.0.Alpha3 is now available!
