[hibernate-dev] No Hibernate Search version compatible with Hibernate ORM 5.2.0.Final

There have been various complaints that people can't upgrade to the latest Hibernate ORM because they don't have a compatible version of Hibernate Search. Rejected 3 issues on JIRA as duplicates of: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-2296 We never guaranteed compatibility beyond the micro-range, still we probably should do something about this as I hate rejecting issues. Status reminder: - we're not ready to release a "Final" version of Hibernate Search branch 5.6 because the Elasticsearch work isn't complete. - the changes needed to be compatible with Hibernate ORM 5.2 are breaking, i.e. it won't work with Hibernate ORM 5.0 and 5.1 if I apply them. - Hibernate Search 5.5 (the previous stable branch) works fine with both ORM 5.0.x and 5.1.x. - Breaking compatibility with ORM 5.1 means to break compatibility with WildFly 10 (unless they also upgrade or we start shipping alternative ORM modules). On top of this, Hibernate OGM was wishing to have an upgrade to ORM 5.1.x. I don't see how we can squeeze that in. The only solution I see is that people will have to be patient and use ORM 5.0 / 5.1 for now. Better ideas? I have a branch of Search which is making progress towards ORM 5.2 compatibility.. not fully complete but it's very clear already that we can't keep compatibility open for a wider range of ORM versions. Feel free to try ;) Also related, the proposal here: - https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-10793 Thanks, Sanne
