API differences in Hibernate ORM 5.1 vs 5.3
by Gail Badner
Hi,
There were lots of differences in the compatibility report, so as a first
step, I've excluded packages/classes that I considered SPI, internal, or
"grey area". This reduced the the differences to a more manageable amount.
You can see a summary of the incompatibilities along with suggested
mitigation at [1].
The report is attached to [1], along with a zip with instructions for
running the report.
I believe there are some "false positives" in the report, and I have
documented them in the section, "False Positives?".
Feel free to comment on the article.
Thanks,
Gail

IP banned from forum
by Gunnar Morling
Hi,
Is anyone banning users from the forum? I am getting "A ban has been
issued on your IP address."
I don't think banning by IP is a good strategy as many users will have
dynamic IPs from their hoster's shared pool, so it's a random game to
hit an IP previously banned due to some other user's spam.
Thanks,

New CI machine preview
by Sanne Grinovero
You're all welcome to play with http://54.225.162.168/
however please keep these in mind:
- it's not the final machine: don't put too much effort in creating
nice build scripts as we'll reset it to clean state soon. We *might*
be able to store jobs defined so far, but we might choose not to.
- domain name should be coming: ci.hibernate.org ..not sure when, got
no replies so far from.
- authentication: just click on login, it will use OAuth2 to request
your identity via your GitHub account. Permissions to create new jobs,
edit existing jobs, run a build manually depend on your github account
be part of the Hibernate organization (or not, in which case you have
read only status)
At this stage I'd like to get a feeling if the hardware is powerful
enough, and also we need to select which other plugins we want to use,
I'm looking especially to:
- static analysis reports
- pull requests integration
both are relatively undefined, we can of course start simple and
improve later.. just checking this fits basic needs now.

JDK 18 Rampdown Phase 2 & JDK 19 Early-Access Builds
by David Delabassee
Greetings!
First off, on behalf of Oracle’s Java Team, I’d like to wish you a happy
and prosperous new year!
In 2022, two Java releases will be made available:
- JDK 18 (March 2022)
- JDK 19 (September 2022)
JDK 18[1] has entered Rampdown Phase Two (RDP2)[2]. Given that and to be
better prepared for the future, it makes sense to begin testing your
project(s) using early access (EA) builds of JDK 19[3]. Your feedback
allows us to evaluate and address issues you find while testing EA builds.
This time, we have two heads-up to share:
## Heads-Up: JDK 18 - JEP 421 Deprecate Finalization for Removal
Finalization is an outdated and brittle resource cleaning mechanism
present in the platform since, well, forever. Its use has been
discouraged for quite some time in favor of better alternatives (i.e.,
'try with resources' and Cleaners). JEP 421 is another step towards the
removal of finalizers as it offers tools to investigate if a codebase is
still using finalization. To learn more, you should read JEP 421[4]. You
should also listen to the latest episode of the Inside Java Podcast[5]
dedicated to this topic. We encourage you to check if your project is
still using finalizers. If so, you should start to think about removing
them and rely instead on either 'try with resources' or Cleaners.
## Heads-Up: JVM does not flag constant class entries ending in '/'
Prior to JDK 19, the JVM is loading classes (1) whose class file major
version is <49, i.e., before JDK 1.5, and (2) the class's name ends with
a '/'. This violates section 4.2.1 of the JVM specification [6] and is
addressed in JDK 19. In JDK 19, the JVM is throwing, for such classes, a
ClassFormatError exception as it already does with newer classes (JDK
1.5+). Given that this issue affects only pre-JDK 1.5 classes, we expect
the compatibility risk to be very low.
For more details, see JDK-8278448[7].

Hibernate Search 6.1.0.Final is out!
by Yoann Rodiere
Hello,
We just published Hibernate Search 6.1.0.Final!
The most important change by far in Hibernate Search 6.1.0.Final is support
for asynchronous, distributed automatic indexing through the
"outbox-polling" coordination strategy.
But it doesn't stop there and introduces Elasticsearch 7.16 compatibility,
OpenSearch 1.0/1.2 compatibility, search DSL improvements, conditional mass
indexing, and more!
For more information (what's new, getting started, migrating, ...), see our
blog:
