 Developers working on Hibernate and Quarkus are constantly collaborating, so here’s a quick peek at what has happened in the last months and what Quarkus users might expect in the future.
 
 === License and Governance Updates 
-Both Quarkus and Hibernate are now projects of the https://www.commonhaus.org[Commonhaus Foundation], a non-profit organization dedicated to the sustainability of open-source libraries.
+Both Quarkus and Hibernate are now projects of the https://www.commonhaus.org[Commonhaus Foundation], a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a collaborative environment for open-source libraries.
 Since the upgrade to Hibernate 7, Quarkus and all modules of Hibernate now share the same open-source license: the https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0[Apache License Version 2.0]. Implementing a proper open-source approach is crucial to the success of the two projects.
 
 === Hibernate ORM 7.0 Updates
 The new version of Hibernate brings better performance and https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/7.0/whats-new/whats-new.html[all kinds of features], some of which improve the developer experience, such as https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/7.0/whats-new/whats-new.html#session-find-multiple[using `findMultiple()` and `getMultiple()`] to efficiently fetch entities in batches.
 
 ==== Support for Jakarta Data
-https://jakarta.ee/specifications/data/1.0/jakarta-data-1.0[Jakarta Data] is a simpler way to write data accessing applications, and it’s supported in Quarkus since https://in.relation.to/2024/11/04/data-in-quarkus/[November 2024]. We suggest giving it a try, as it enables a very quick and easy implementation of the DAO/repository patterns, without any boilerplate code and in a type-safe manner. Simply include the `jakarta.data:jakarta.data-api` dependency with the latest version of Quarkus, i.e.:

 ==== New Restrictions API
 After the deprecation of the Hibernate Criteria API, developers were still missing its simplicity, so the Hibernate team introduced a new https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/7.0/introduction/html_single/Hibernate_Introduction.html#restrictions-and-ordering[Restriction API] that even has new features, such as the possibility to further restrict an already written query using JPQL/HQL.
