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 20 Release Candidate and Deprecation
by David Delabassee
Welcome to the latest OpenJDK Quality Outreach update!
The first Release Candidates of JDK 20 have been released [1] as per the
schedule [2]. At this stage, only P1 issues will be evaluated. And with
the JDK 20 General Availability sets for March 21st, it is now time to
fully focus on JDK 21. I'd like to thank those of you who have already
provided feedback on the Early Builds of JDK 21. Feedback is always
extremely useful, even more, when it comes early in the development cycle.
We are always thinking about the future but the future is not limited to
new features (pun intended). Properly removing legacy features from the
platform is also critical. Deprecation has always been an important,
phased, and ongoing effort. To name just two recent examples,
`Thread.stop()` is removed in JDK 20 [3], and the URL Public
Constructors are deprecated in JDK 20 (see the related heads-up below).
It is important to prepare your codebase for such upcoming evolution
sooner rather than later. To conclude on deprecation, I'll mention my
colleague Nicolai who recently did a full video on this exact topic,
i.e. "Prepare your Codebase for the Future Now!" [4].

[4] https://inside.java/2023/02/02/newscast-41/
## Heads-Up - JDK 20 - Deprecate URL Public Constructors
The `java.net.URL` class, dating from Java SE 1.0, does not encode or
decode any URL components according to the RFC2396 escaping mechanism.
It is the responsibility of the caller to encode any fields, which need
to be escaped prior to calling URL, and also to decode any escaped
fields that are returned from URL. This has led to many usability
issues, including some potential vulnerabilities when the calling code
did not take this into consideration.
In Java SE 1.4, the `java.net.URI` class has been added to mitigate some
of the `java.net.URL` shortcomings. It also offers methods to create an
URL from an URI.
JDK 20 will deprecate all public constructors of `java.net.URL`. This
will provide a strong warning and discourage developers from using them.
To construct a URL, the `URI::toURL` alternative should instead be
preferred. To construct a `file:` based URL, `Path::toURI` should be
used prior to `URI::toURL`.
For more details, see https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294241
## Heads-Up - JDK 20 - JMX Connections Use an ObjectInputFilter by Default
The default JMX agent now sets an ObjectInputFilter on the RMI
connection to restrict the types that the server will deserialize. This
should not affect normal usage of the MBeans in the JDK. Applications
which register their own MBeans in the platform MBeanServer may need to
extend the serialization filter to support any additional types that
their custom MBeans accept as parameters. The default filter already
covers any type that OpenMBeans and MXBeans might use.
The serialization filter pattern is set in
`JDK/conf/management/management.properties` using the property
`com.sun.management.jmxremote.serial.filter.pattern`. If additional Java
types need to be passed, the default can be overridden by running with
`-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.serial.filter.pattern=.`
Serialization Filtering and the filter pattern format are described in
detail in the Core Libraries Guide [5].

## Heads-Up - Testing Loom: Scoped Values and Structured Concurrency
With one JEP in Preview (Virtual Threads - 2nd Preview) and two JEPs
incubating (Scoped Values - Incubator & Structured Concurrency - 2nd
Incubator) Loom made considerable progress in JDK 20. The Loom team is
always eager to hear from developers experimenting with those APIs,
especially given that both Scoped Values and Structured Concurrency
might become Preview in JDK 21. Feedback should be reported to the
loom-dev [6] mailing list.

outbox-polling coordination strategy.
6.2.0.Alpha2 also includes many bugfixes and improvements, compatibility
with Elasticsearch 8.6 and OpenSearch 2.5, an upgrade of -orm6 artifacts to
Hibernate ORM 6.2.0.CR2, and more.
See our blog for more information:
https://in.relation.to/2023/02/14/hibernate-search-6-2-0-Alpha2/
