Jan 1, 2026January 2026 — Hibernate ORM (hibernate-orm): Delivered XML mapping enhancements and synchronization, including support for <synchronize> in orm.xml, migration of mappings from hbm.xml to orm.xml for modern compatibility, and improvements to fetch mode and relationship handling (ManyToMany and outer-join-aware collections). Implemented and tested fixes addressing HHH-20055, and refined HbmXmlTransform logic to generate sql-join-table-restriction for ManyToMany and correctly infer fetch mode from outer-join values across set/map/list/bag/array. These efforts improve migration safety, runtime correctness, and overall performance for ORM mappings.
