Hi everyone.  
I’m italian developer. I must redo a webapp java with springMvc, Hibernate, Jpa  
I must choice the best release (for LTS) of hibernate.  
The old appl has hib 4.2 in jvm1.8 opensource

I want avoid tu put a lib without support or renew version, in relation with relative Jvm.

In the hibernate site I had not to be able to find a grid Jvm-HibVersion for the all versions. with a time support compatibiliies

It could be acceptable running in Jvm1.8 if the compatibility Hibernate version is supported anyway.

Thank you so much - Nicola

Hello, you should be able to find Java compatibility and other information you need on the Hibernate ORM website, see the releases page: [Releases - Hibernate ORM](https://hibernate.org/orm/releases/).

The last version to support Java 8 was 5.6, but note that is receiving limited support and I would strongly suggest using the latest stable version of Hibernate (6.4) along with _at least_ Java 11.
