[hibernate-dev] Branching 5.4, master is now 5.5

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hi all,

I've branched the current master, which was updated now to build
version 5.5.0-SNAPSHOT.

In parallel, we've created a 5.4 branch.

Please merge any new enhancements and bugfixes in master first; then
we can take backports in consideration as usual.

But also: we'd expect most enhancements to rather target the quickly
evolving branch for ORM 6: wip/6.0 - the main purpose for the 5.5
branch is to deliver some of the simpler enhancements, such as JPA 3,
but the focus for most new cool things is definitely the ORM 6 branch.

Thanks,
Sanne
