Good day! I was wondering if there was any reasoning as to why the hibernate-hikaricp library has not been updated to use HikariCP 5.1.0 yet. I want to use this hibernate adapter with Java 11, so having a version that supports Java 11 better would be nice. I see the latest Alpha, 7.0.0 Alpha3, still uses 3.2.0. I’d like to know if there is any argument for this, whether there are any known issues when using HikariCP 5.1.0 with this Hibernate library, and if not, when I can expect a version to use HikariCP 5.1.0.
There is apparently no community interest. After all, these connection pool integrations are community maintained.
You can of course create a Jira issue for the upgrade and a PR that simply bumps the version as well as fixes potential API incompatibilities, but the real question is, whether there even are incompatibilities. If the Hikari API that is used in the integration didn’t change, then you can just use the newer version obviously. It’s good practice to update to the latest version on our latest development branch though, which would be wip/7.0 at this point.
