BreakingUpgrade verdict
3 breaking changes and a platform requirement change.
In plain terms
- Many old APIs and behaviors that were marked deprecated have been removed, so code using them will break.
- The library now uses a newer version of the Jakarta Persistence standard, which may require changes to your code.
- Many classes have moved to new packages, so imports may need updating.
- You now need Java 17 or newer to use this library; older versions needed only Java 11.
