Hibernate 3.5.0-Final release Features

hello, everbody,

Here is the list of the major accomplishments embodied in 3.5.0-Final

• JSR 317 (JPA2) support.
• Integration of hibernate-annotations, hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-envers into the core project.  See http://in.relation.to/14172.lace for details
• Added Infinispan as a standard second-level cache. See http://infinispan.blogspot.com/2009/10/infinispan-based-hibernate-cache.html for details
• Improvements to the new second-level caching SPI introduced in 3.3 based on feedback from implementers including Ehcache, Inifinispan and JBoss Cache.
• Far better read only / immutable support. See the new chapter added to the core reference manual dedicated to the subject.
• Support for JDBC 4 such that Hibernate can be used in JDK 1.6 JVMs and make use of JDBC4-compliant drivers.'
• Support for column-level read/write fragments (HBM only for now)
• Initial support for fetch profiles

Check out the release page for the full list of changes (just in 3.5.0-Final, aka not cumulative).
