Hi, We just released Hibernate ORM 5.4.0.CR1, the first candidate release of 5.4.0. 5.4 is the direct continuation of 5.3 and we will encourage everyone to upgrade to it to benefit from the latest fixes. Thus thoroughly testing this release candidate is especially important. It brings EntityGraph improvements, out of the box JDK 11 support, bug fixes and other minor improvements. More information in the announcement post: http://in.relation.to/2018/11/15/hibernate-orm-540-cr1-out/ . Feedback very welcome! -- Guillaume
