The new release of Hibernate Entity Manager now supports full .par archive usage including entity and hbm files discovery (refer to the Documentation for more details on this feature) and fix some critical bugs (see the release note).

The new release of Hibernate Annotations is focused on new Hibernate specific extensions. It is compatible with the latest Hibernate core release (3.1 beta1). You can use it with Hibernate EntityManager 3.1 beta 2. See the release notes for details.

A sync version of JBoss EJB3 is also available as well as an alpha release of the Embeddable EJB 3.0 (a full EJB3 container that run outside the application server).
