The Java Cryptographic Roadmap has been updated [3]:
* Distrust TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 by default
o TLS protocol versions 1.0 and 1.1 are no longer considered
secure and have been superseded by more secure and modern
versions (TLS 1.2 and 1.3). This change has been integrated with
JDK 16 Early Access build 26.
* Upgrade of default algorithms used to encrypt PKCS12 keystores
o The new algorithms are based on AES-256 and SHA-256 and are
stronger than the old algorithms which were based on RC2,
DESede, and SHA-1.This change is already included in JDK 16
Early Access build 23.

Second candidate release for Hibernate Search 6.0
by Yoann Rodiere
Hello,
We just published a second candidate release for Hibernate Search 6.0:
version 6.0.0.CR2.
This release mainly brings a workaround for applications hanging on startup
with Spring Boot 2.3+, type parameters for type bridges and property
bridges, and an alternative, URI-based configuration for target
Elasticsearch hosts.
It also includes an upgrade to Lucene 8.7.0, Elasticsearch 7.10.0 and
Hibernate ORM 5.4.24.Final.
For more information, see our blog:

Automatically Upgrade to HTTPS
by Gunnar Morling
Hey all,
I just noticed that visiting http://hibernate.org/ (i.e. not http*s*) will
not automatically upgrade you to HTTPS, but leave you with that ugly
unsecure icon in the browser address bar. It's also what you get when
simply typing hibernate.org (i.e. 99% of users).
As search engines tend to penalize non-HTTPS these days, I'd suggest to
look into automatically upgrading if possible.
Best,
--Gunnar

First candidate release for Hibernate Search 6.0
by Yoann Rodiere
Hello,
We just published the first candidate release for Hibernate Search 6.0:
version 6.0.0.CR1.
Compared to Hibernate Search 5, changes are extensive, due to the API
overhaul, but with plenty of improvements: upgrades to Lucene 8 and
Elasticsearch 7 of course, but also a more concise Search DSL with typed
result types, full control on field declaration in Bridges, easier to
configure and more efficient automatic indexing, runtime joins with nested
documents, …
No more changes are planned before the final release, so *this is the
perfect time to test your applications based on Hibernate Search*, and
report problems as soon as possible so that everything works perfectly as
soon as 6.0.0.Final is released.
For more information (in particular regarding migration to the new API),
see our blog:
