2026-07-18 - 🟢 On Track
- What was accomplished since the last update?
- Features Merged
- HQL pattern matching
- HQL in / not in
- HQL BETWEEN predicate
- Expressions in SELECT and WHERE clauses
- Optimistic locking support
- Basic entity class hierarchy persistence and retrieval (single table and mapped superclass)
- Required property for null semantics (MQL as the only supported value initially)
- Prohibit org.bson.types, BSON document types, and UUID as domain types
- Forbid the @JdbcTypeCode annotation
- Clearer error message when startup connection fails
- Automatic release publishing, including pre-releases
- Features in Review
- Non-equijoin ON conditions
- Expressions in HQL bulk UPDATE SET clause
- Features in Progress
- Index and unique constraint support
- @Table.schema support
- GROUP BY, HAVING, and aggregate functions
- Scope
- Delivery is running well ahead of the initial estimate. With the target release still anchored to .local NYC, we have significantly expanded the GA scope to include additional high-priority features rather than pulling the date in.
- Demo
- Recorded the second project demo on 7/17. Attended by Dev Rel and AMP team representatives.
- Team
- Almas and Andre are both fully ramped and contributing merged work.
- What's the focus over the next two weeks?
- Merge non-equijoin ON conditions and bulk UPDATE SET expressions (in review)
- Complete index/unique constraint support and @Table.schema
- GROUP BY, HAVING, and aggregate functions
- Any risks/blockers/impediments?

- GROUP BY, HAVING, and aggregate functions
- Any risks/blockers/impediments?
- No blockers. GROUP BY / HAVING / aggregate support is the remaining critical path — it is now in progress and cannot be parallelized, so it effectively gates the epic end date. The forecast remains ahead of the .local NYC target even with the expanded scope.
2026-07-03 - 🟢 On Track
- What was accomplished since the last update?
- Features Merged
- Spring Boot auto-configuration module
- Path expressions for fields nested in sub-documents (@Struct embeddables)
- Native query support with parameter markers
- Exception when an id column is explicitly named something other than _id
- Features in Review
- Optimistic locking support
- HQL pattern matching
- HQL in / not in
- Required property for null semantics (MQL as the only supported value initially)
- Features in Progress
- Basic entity class hierarchy persistence and retrieval
- Team
- Almas is ramped up on the project. Andre is ramping.
- What's the focus over the next two weeks?
- Merge optimistic locking, HQL pattern matching, HQL in / not in, and the null-semantics property (all in review)
- Complete entity class hierarchy persistence and retrieval
- Re-plan the epic on Monday, incorporating feedback from the last demo; scope may be adjusted and additional tickets pulled in
- Any risks/blockers/impediments?
- No blockers. The target-date forecast continues to run ahead of the planned end date, leaving room to absorb additional scope from the re-planning.
2026-06-22 - 🟢 On Track
- What was accomplished since the last update?
- Features Merged
- $elemMatch translation for EXISTS-over-collection subqueries
- Null/missing-field comparisons, including is null / is not null
- Auto-inference of dialect and connection provider from the MongoDB JDBC URL, plus short names for MongoDialect/MongoConnectionProvider
- Upgrade to Hibernate ORM 7.4
- Features in Review
- Path expressions for fields nested in sub-documents (@Struct embeddables)
- Spring Boot auto-configuration module
- Native query support with parameter markers
- Features in Progress
- Optimistic locking support
- HQL pattern matchingÂ
- Team
- Almas is onboarded and ramping up on the project.
- Andre started on June 15 and will begin ramping next week.
- What's the focus over the next two weeks?
- Merge the Spring Boot auto-configuration module
- Merge native query support with parameter markers (currently in review)
- Merge nested sub-document field path expressions (currently in review)
- Merge optimistic locking support
- Any risks/blockers/impediments?
- No blockers. The current target-date forecast rests on ~3 weeks of measured velocity from a small team and should firm up as the team ramps. The forecast is currently ahead
  of the planned end date.

2026-06-05 - 🟢 On Track
- What was accomplished since the last update?
- Agreed on features required for GA, prioritized and story pointed the tickets, determined engineering capacity, and arrived at an initial target end date based on ~5 story points per engineering week.
- Notably, we have excluded ternary logic support for GA, instead opting for a required configuration parameter that forces applications to choose MQL mode. Â SQL mode (ternary) is deferred to the next release.
- Features Merged
- Upgrade from Hibernate 6.6 to Hibernate 7.3, a necessary precursor to support for $elemMatch translations
- Inner and Left Outer Join support
- Features in Review
- Features in Progress
- Improved Spring Data/Boot Integration
- What's the focus over the next two weeks?
- Onboard Almas to the project
- Merge above features that are in progress and review
- Support comparisons against null
- Support references to fields nested in sub-documents
- Any risks/blockers/impediments?
