We are happy to announce the eighteenth bug fix release of the 1.6 series.
Hibernate ORM 7.2 integration
Hibernate ORM 7.2 was released and had some breaking changes in SPIs which required a new integration blaze-persistence-integration-hibernate-7.2 to be written.
Users are encouraged to update to Hibernate ORM 7.2 and the new integration of Blaze-Persistence 1.6.18 directly. Quarkus 3.31+ users need to upgrade to the Hibernate ORM 7.2 new integration.
Spring Boot/Data 4.0
The final version of Spring Boot/Data 4.0 had some breaking changes to which the integration was now adapted.
Various bug fixes

Enjoy the release and stay tuned for the next one!
