Hibernate ORM

6.3 series end-of-life

Hibernate ORM 6.3 has reached its end-of-life:

  • it is unlikely to see another release;

  • bugs are unlikely to get fixed in this version, even security vulnerabilities;

  • pull requests against this version will be rejected;

We recommend that you upgrade to a newer series if possible or look for commercial, end-of-life support.
