[hibernate-dev] Needed for 4.0.0.CR5?

A couple of new issues were opened today that seem important enough to consider for 4.0.0.CR5. Not sure there's any time left to do this, but here they are: HHH-6727 (serializing an EntityManager should include enough information to later be unserialized with re-association to existing EntityManagerFactory (even on a different machine/jvm process)) https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-6727 HHH-6726 (Oracle : map TextType to clob and ImageType to blob) https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-6726 There have been a number of issues opened since the change was made to map TextType (LONGVARCHAR) 'long' and ImageType (LONGVARBINARY) to 'long raw'. This change was already documented in the migration notes. Should the mapping for Oracle (only) be changed back to clob and blob? Steve, if you have a chance, please take a look at: HHH-6723 (Remove extra join from eager @OneToOne). I created a pull request at: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-core/pull/184. If possible, I'd like to restore the performance improvement of HHH-5109 for 3.6.8 and 4.0.0.CR5. Please let me know if I should look at any of this for CR5. I'll look into the Infinispan failure until I hear otherwise. Thanks, Gail
