Month: 2025-09 — Hibernate ORM modernization to Java 17 and Time API migration. Delivered modernized code using enhanced switch expressions, removed the Joda-Time dependency, and migrated tests to java.time.LocalDate. These changes reduce technical debt, improve maintainability, and position Hibernate for Java 17+ compatibility across dialects. No major bugs were fixed this month; the focus was on strategic modernization with clear business value: smoother upgrade path for customers and easier long-term maintenance.

June 2025 monthly summary for hibernate/hibernate-orm: Delivered MariaDB 10.6+ compatibility by removing support for MariaDB versions older than 10.6 and updating build scripts and dialect configurations to target 10.6+ only. The change, implemented via commit 82aeb57a69ae06cac76b427c24836f9f80a22bcc (HHH-19225), reduces maintenance burden, accelerates adoption of newer features, and stabilizes ORM behavior for modern MariaDB deployments. This work enhances business value by aligning with customer environments and paving the way for future feature work, while maintaining a clear upgrade path for breaking changes.

April 2025: Delivered Hibernate Dialect Compatibility and Modularity Enhancements for hibernate-orm. Key changes include raising the minimum supported SQL Server version to 2016, unconditionally registering JSON functions to simplify dialect logic, and refactoring by moving legacy LimitHandler classes from the core dialect package into a new community dialects module to improve modularity and maintainability. These changes reduce core dialect complexity, enable easier extension to additional dialects, and lay groundwork for broader dialect support in future releases.

March 2025 focused on stabilizing the testing pipeline for Hibernate ORM by upgrading the Docker-based test environment to MySQL 9.2 and implementing a regression workaround. The work minimized flaky tests and ensured faster, more reliable feedback loops for release readiness, while aligning test entities with the new MySQL version. These changes improve CI stability and prepare the suite for future MySQL compatibility.
