 			<para>
-				Hibernate is a powerful object/relational mapping tool for building Java applications. It significantly reduces repetitive persistence related programming tasks by mapping the object model's data representation to a relational data model. The mapping feature eliminates paradigm mismatch issues caused by data handling between objects and relational databases. 			
+				Hibernate is a powerful object/relational mapping tool and a query service for building Java applications. Hibernate offers a sophisticated object-oriented HQL (Hibernate query language) allowing the programmer to make use of polymorphic queries. Queries can be expressed in native SQL or using Java-based Criteria and Example queries. However, please read these release notes for more information on software that are compatible with this version of Hibernate release.

To use Hibernate, you must configure the project's classpath settings to point to these <filename>jar</filename> files. Settings for individual IDEs differ, but normally you would add the <filename>jar</filename> files as external library files.

 		<para>
-			All new features and bug fixes mentioned in these release notes are applicable to VERSION;. 
+			It is recommended that the Hibernate unit tests be executed using the same dialect and version of JDBC that will be used in production, to ensure that the configuration setting, <property>hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data</property>, is set properly. The value for  <property>hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data</property> determines if Hibernate will use batches for updating versioned data (an optimization). 
 		</para>
-		<section id="New_Features">
-			<title>New Features</title>
+		<para>
+			Optimistic locking relies on the ability to obtain the number of rows updated. If the JDBC driver does not return update counts for each command in a batch, then <property>hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data</property> should be set to "false". 
+		</para>
+		<para>
+			The unit tests use the settings in <filename>etc/hibernate.properties</filename>. The value for <property>hibernate.jdbc.batch_versioned_data</property> is set to <parameter>true</parameter> in that file. If the unit tests involving optimistic locking fail, then the appropriate value for this flag is  <parameter>false</parameter>. Some versions of Oracle JDBC do not support returning update counts for each command in a batch, so it is particularly important to test using the same version of JDBC as will be used in production.
