[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Annotations, EntityManager and Validator compatible with Core 3.3.x

The Hibernate team is pleased to announce the synchronized release of: - Hibernate Annotations 3.4.0 CR1 - Hibernate EntityManager 3.4.0 CR1 - Hibernate Validator 3.1.0 CR1 - Hibernate Commons Annotations 3.1.0 CR1 These release primarily ensure compatibility with the new Hibernate Core 3.3 Aside from the compatibility, noticeable work are: - Maven POM distributed and deployed at http://repository.jboss.org/maven2 - the logging facade is now SLF4J (aligned with Hibernate Core) - the build system no longer rely on relative directory structures (especially we no longer need the hibernate-3.2 directory): all dependencies are downloaded from http://repository.jboss.org/maven2 Hibernate Search 3.1.x will also target Hibernate Core 3.3 There will probably be a CR2 fixing a couple of bugs, cleaning up backward compatible code and updating the documentation.
