Downloads
Hibernate releases are consumable in 2 different formats:
Release bundle
The Hibernate team provides release bundles hosted on the SourceForge File Release System, both in ZIP and TGZ formats. They contain jars, documentation, source code, etc.
Maven repository artifacts
The preferred method of "using" Hibernate is via Maven artifact repositories. Many build tools are able to interoperate with Maven repositories including Maven, Ivy, Gradle, etc.
Hibernate publishes its artifacts to the JBoss Maven Repository under the org.hibernate groupId/namespace.

- Hibernate ORM 4.1.2 Release
- Apr 4, 2012 2:47 PM by Steve Ebersole
Hibernate ORM version 4.1.2 has just been released. This is a minor bug fix release containing 35 bug fixes. See the changelog for the complete list of fixes. Specific fixes of note include:
- Numerous fixes for 4.1-introduced load-by-natural-id feature. Many thanks to Eric Dalquist and Guenther Demetz for really hitting that feature hard, helping shake out issues and often developing fixes. Open Source at its finest! The most significant improvement here was removing the reliance on auto-flushing when performing a load-by-natural-id (HHH-7206)
- A few fixes (HHH-7017, HHH-7020, HHH-7090) related to org.hibernate.SharedSessionBuilder which is the contract used to build sessions from other sessions.
- HHH-7190 - Potentially major performance hit relating to proxy generation
- Update Infinispan dependency to version 5.1.2. Also support for natural-id caching added to the hibernate-infinispan integration.
As usual, the artifacts have been uploaded to the JBoss Nexus repository (and will be synchronized to Maven Central in a day or two) and the release bundles have been uploaded to the Hibernate SourceForge (SourceForge is experiencing some problems with the File Release System at the moment, I will add the download links when that is resolved).
FYI, I forgot to name this release with '.Final' qualifier in version. So the artifacts are just versioned 4.1.2.
