It was a simple matter to restore the old the method and provide a default implementation of the method added by HHH-9078.
I've create the following issues: For master, 4.3, and 4.2 (because HHH-9078 was fixed on master, 4.3, and 4.2): HHH-9204: Restore AbstractCollectionPersister.doProcessQueuedOps(PersistentCollection, Serializable, SessionImplementor) HHH-9205: Deprecate AbstractCollectionPersister.doProcessQueuedOps(PersistentCollection, Serializable, int, SessionImplementor) For master only: HHH-9206: Remove AbstractCollectionPersister.doProcessQueuedOps(PersistentCollection, Serializable, int, SessionImplementor) Steve, I'm not 100% I did the right thing for HHH-9204 and HHH-9205, so please take a look at the pull request: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/747 Thanks, Gail ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Gail Badner" <gbad...@redhat.com> > To: "Gunnar Morling" <gun...@hibernate.org> > Cc: hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org > Sent: Monday, May 19, 2014 12:34:09 PM > Subject: Re: [hibernate-dev] Changing method signatures in micro releases > > Hi Gunnar, > > Thanks for mentioning this.
