Hi, It’s my pleasure to announce the first release of Hibernate Validator 5.3! The overarching idea for the 5.3 timeline is to prototype several features which may potentially be standardized in the Bean Validation 2.0 specification. To get things rolling, this release brings support for dynamic payload for constraints. Other changes are improved OSGi support, optional relaxation of parameter constraints and more. See the announcement post [1] for the full story. Cheers, --Gunnar [1] http://in.relation.to/2016/01/18/hibernate-validator-530-alpha1-out/
