https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10031&version=16350
目前 Hibernate 最新的稳定分支是 4.3.x，开发团队正在开发 5.0 版本。
一些重要的 bug 修复：
• HHH-9107: a regression in 4.2.11 broke reading entities from the 2LC under certain circumstances (involving polymorphism)
• HHH-4700, HHH-6747, and HHH-9100: improved/corrected CASE and CAST statements in HQL
• HHH-7971: enabling ENABLELAZYLOADNOTRANS would clear collections if they were accessed outside of a transaction
• HHH-9071: “Proxy narrowing loses the initialized state of the original proxy”
• HHH-9078: corrected the use of @OrderColumns on ToMany cascading
