The last big feature for the 1.5 series, the support for custom index/key mapping expressions for List and Map entity view attributes, was finally finished, which lead to this wonderful release today!

This release is pretty big, containing many bug fixes and quite a few great features. The most notable features are JSON functions to access/manipulate fields of JSON columns, the support for joins in DML statements and the support for custom index/key mapping expressions for List and Map entity view attributes via the new @MappingIndex annotation.

If you want to know more about the new features or bug fixes, take a look into the changelog for a full list of changes and improvements.

This release concludes the planned community releases for the 1.5 series. We will publish community bug fix releases only for critical bug fixes. If you need long term support please consider the commercial support options.

The master branch will now switch to the 1.6 series with the codename Lockjaw. Have fun with the release!
