Maven, 2 years after
Let me preface this by saying up front that, yes, I am fed up with Maven. In the 2 years since I decided to switch Hibernate over to use Maven for its build tool I don't think that Maven has lived up to making builds any easier. Quite the contrary, in fact. Previously though there was not really been any other option. At that time ant/ivy combo was just starting to gain traction. Not to mention that I do like the notion of build-by-convention which Ant just does not provide.
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.

Hibernate Core Modules (3.3)
Quite a few folks have asked about the new Hibernate Core modules introduced with the 3.3 release: what each is for, when to use which, etc. I wanted to take a bit to describe what each of the main modules is for and when/how you would use certain combinations. (These modules also define maven artifacts; all Hibernate Core artifacts use org.hibernate groupId).
Hibernate Core 3.3.1 released
Hibernate Core 3.3.1 has just been released with its artifacts published to the JBoss Maven Repository. This release fixed a serious issue with CurrentSessionContext (SessionFactory.getCurrentSession()) when running on IBM WebSphere. It also includes quite a few improvements to the enhanced id generators. For details about all the changes in this release, check out it's changelog
Hibernate Core 3.3.0.SP1
3.3.0.GA got released the other day with an uncaught problem. A public method got removed from some of the events (specifically PreInsertEvent and PreUpdateEvent) which is causing problems with Hibernate Validator and which will probably cause problems for any applications utilizing custom listeners for those events.
Hibernate Core 3.3.0 goes GA
Hibernate 3.3.0.GA has been released. A big thanks to everyone who helped us get here.
