3 days from Christmas we decided to release Hibernate OGM as a present. The major news in this release are: - mapping support for Cassandra 2.2 new data types - proper handling of the @Lob annotation - post-load event support using @PostLoad annotation - Infinispan 8 - Hibernate Search 5.5 You can find all the details about this release and what's coming next in the blog post [1]. Many thanks to all the people that helped us make this release possible. Cheers, Davide [1] http://in.relation.to/2015/12/21/hibernate-ogm-5-beta1-released/
