In Relation To

Hibernate Validator 8.0.3.Final maintenance release is out.

This release contains a few bug fixes, and enables alphanumeric format for the @CNPJ constraint.

We are pleased to announce the release of Hibernate Validator 9.0.1.Final.

This release contains a few bug fixes and improvements to the recently included constraints.

We are pleased to announce the release of Hibernate Validator 9.0.0.Final.

Compared to Hibernate Validator 8.0 this series is the implementation of the Jakarta Validation 3.1 and targets Jakarta EE 11. It also introduces new constraints, removes the integration of the Security Manager, provides the BOM for simpler dependency management, removes a few constraints, configuration properties and APIs, which have been deprecated for several major versions and stops publishing relocation POMs for the old org.hibernate group id. There are also a few other improvements, bug fixes and dependency updates.

We just published Hibernate Validator 9.0.0.CR1, the first candidate release of the new 9.0 series of Hibernate Validator.

This series targets Jakarta EE 11. It is the implementation of the Jakarta Validation 3.1.

Since the previously released 9.0.0.Beta3, we spent some time on various build improvements, tidied up a few things and addressed various reports from the community and our testing.

With this release, we no longer publish relocation POMs for the old org.hibernate group id.

There also are some dependency updates and bug fixes.

Hibernate Validator 8.0.2.Final maintenance release is out.

This release contains some documentation and constraint violation message translation updates as well as a few bug fixes.

A few weeks ago, the GitHub Security Lab reported to the Hibernate team a vulnerability in GitHub Actions workflows used in some Hibernate projects, which could have (indirectly) impacted released artifacts.

Fortunately, that vulnerability wasn’t exploited and all Hibernate releases are perfectly safe.

However, considering the impact an exploit could have had, we thought it would be best to provide some transparency on what happened and how we made sure that Hibernate releases — past, present and future — are safe.

We just published Hibernate Validator 9.0.0.Beta3, the next beta release of the new 9.0 series of Hibernate Validator.

This series targets Jakarta EE 11. It is the implementation of the Jakarta Validation 3.1. Compared to the previous release in this series, this version removes a few more constraints, configuration properties and APIs, which have been deprecated for several major versions. We have also identified some possible areas to improve while testing the previous version in the downstream projects. Also, there are some bug fixes.

We just published Hibernate Validator 9.0.0.Beta2, the first release of the new 9.0 series of Hibernate Validator.

This series targets Jakarta EE 11. It is the implementation of the Jakarta Validation 3.1. It also introduces new constraints, removes the integration of the Security Manager, provides the BOM for simpler dependency management, includes dependency updates, and makes other improvements and bug fixes.

Today, we released new maintenance releases for our Hibernate Validator 6.2 and 7.0 branches.

Both versions improve testing of Java records and make sure the annotation processor is working correctly with records.

We also released a new candidate release (CR2) of Hibernate Validator 8.0, which targets Jakarta EE 10.

I am glad to announce the release of Hibernate Validator 8.0.0.CR1, which is the final step before our Final release (except if important issues are reported, of course).

Hibernate Validator 8 is the Hibernate Validator version targeting Jakarta EE 10 and it is the reference implementation of Jakarta Bean Validation.
