Just wanted to outline some reasons for keeping the Hibernate 4.2.x release train alive.
I would love to update today to 4.3.x. But I'm on Spring 3.x and the Hibernate 4.3.x line only made it into Spring 4.x. So everybody using Spring 3.x will be stuck on 4.2.x. I would say that's prob just about everybody using Spring. Spring 4 was only recently released. IMHO this is not on the Spring team but on the fact that a significant refactoring was executed post Hibernate 4.0.x. The corresponding Spring JIRA is here SPR-10839 <https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-10839> One idea would be to release an adapter that allows Hibernate to be used with Spring 3.x. I'll be upgrading to Spring 4 soon, so I only care fore convenience sake, but I control my IT infra. If you guys want the latest and greatest Hibernate on all Spring installs this year, you might consider helping that along a little.
