What's new

Latest release announcement (2020-12-16): 6.1.7.Final.

A detailed list of new features, improvements and fixes in this series can be found on our issue tracker.

Jakarta Bean Validation

Hibernate Validator 6.1 uses the Jakarta Bean Validation API artifact i.e. jakarta.validation:jakarta.validation-api.

No API changes.

Quarkus-tailored bootstrap

To better fit Quarkus architecture, we have developed a new bootstrap that allows to collect the Hibernate Validator metadata at build time.

This allows to drastically reduce the Hibernate Validator contribution to the Quarkus startup time.

Performance and memory footprint improvements

Hibernate Validator 6.1 comes with some new performance and memory footprint improvements.
