Hibernate 3.5, with support for JPA2, went GA on March 31st.
Of course, you never go with the first release of a product, because you know a
new updated will be right around the corner. Well, 15 days later, Hibernate 3.5
incremented their release number by a fraction. What does that mean? Well, it
means it's time to jump into Hibernate 3.5.1.
From JBoss' own discussion of Hibernate 3.5, here's what's in the latest release:
***JSR 317 (JPA2) support.
***Integration of hibernate-annotations,
hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-envers into the core project.
***Added Infinispan as a standard second-level cache.
***Improvements to the new second-level caching SPI introduced
in 3.3 based on feedback from implementers including Ehcache, Inifinispan and
JBoss Cache.
***Far better read only / immutable support.
***Support for JDBC 4 such that Hibernate can be used in JDK
1.6 JVMs and make use of JDBC4-compliant drivers.'
***Support for column-level read/write fragments (HBM only for
now)
***Initial support for fetch profiles
Hibernate 3.5.1-Final Released
Oh, and never missing an opportunity for self-promotion, if you're interested in learning Hibernate, pick up a copy of my book "Hibernate Made Easy." Of course, that edition covers the 3.4 version of Hibernate. Looks like I'm going to be spending some time doing some 3.5 updates.
Happy Hibernating!
