Well not really ;)
At JavaOne this year, I gave a more advanced presentation than usual on how to use Bean Validation. A few folks have asked me to share it and there it is.
Gunnar asked me an interesting question on Bean Validation. Instead of keeping the knowledge private, I thought it would be useful to share more wildly.
There are no functional changes between CR1 and this Final release. Some minor issues in the @Min, @Max and @EmailValidator got fixed (HV-335, HV-339) as well as some documentation typos. We also spend some time improving the parsing and validation speed by reviewing and improving some reflection based code (HV-340, HV-341, HV-342). Review the full release notes for details.
Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.CR1 is now available. This is the last milestone build before the Final release. Not much has happened between Beta2 and CR1. The programmatic API as described in the previous release blog entry stayed as is and there were only three minor bug fixes. See release notes for details.
Hibernate Validator 4.1.0.Beta2 is out. A total of 29 issues got resolved since the last release and you can review then in the Jira changelog. Amongst others we added the @ScriptAssert constraints as promised in the previous release blog. Initially we wanted to release 4.1.0.CR directly, but we added a new programmatic constraint configuration API (HV-274) for which we want to first gather some feedback.
After many months of polishing, we are happy to release Hibernate Validator 4. This is a major milestone for Hibernate Validator with tons of new features and a spec compliance.
The dust is settling around JSR-303 and we are happy to release Hibernate Validator 4.0.0.CR1. With this release we will be going into feature freeze, especially since we aligned it with JBoss AS 5.2 and Glassfish for integration.
