The version 5.x is a prerequisite to upgrade Spring to the next major release. Also the version 4.x is no longer supported and security issues are frequently reported. The idea is to use libhibernate-validator4-java as a transitional package until all reverse dependencies are updated to use the version 5.x. Emmanuel Bourg
