Here comes the first fix release for 1.4 containing quite a few new features but also a pretty important packaging fix. Due to build system updates, the META-INF/versions/9 directory in the entity view implementation JAR got lost. The directory in the JAR is vital for running on Java 11+ as it contains an alternative implementation for defining classes that was introduced in Java 9. The highlight of the release is the support for subqueries in the FROM clause and the inlining of count and id queries in the paginated queries to reduce the amount of queries even further.

Take a look into the changelog for a full list of changes and improvements.

We are switching the master branch to 1.5.0-SNAPSHOT now and will focus on Hibernate 6 support. We are looking forward to hear your feedback!
