    🔄 Changed

    • ⚡️ Update Hibernate to the 5.x branch, in particular to version 5.4.7.Final. The Hibernate Session factory is now configured with annotated Java classes generated at runtime. The ad-hoc code for Hibernate 4 has been removed.
    • 🗄 Deprecate the single portofino-model.xml file in favor of multiple portofino-model/<database-name>/database.xml files. Legacy files are supported and converted to the new format upon save.
    • 🔄 Change the format of annotations in the model and in configuration.xml. Annotations in the legacy format are converted upon save.
    • Replace java.io.File with Apache Commons VFS FileObject in Persistence. This is a breaking API change.
    • ⚡️ Update all uses of Commons Configuration to version 2.6, including Commons Configuration 1.x uses. This is a breaking API change.
    • Ensure that Portofino 5 can run without a Java compiler (JDK) available.
