A new version of Hibernate, v5.4.20, is included. Hibernate v5.4.20 may require newer versions of the JDBC driver in order to function properly. Ensure that you have a driver version of at least 4.2 that works with your database to be compatible with Hibernate v5.4.20. This upgrade also removes the hibernate.dialect property from the installed.properties file as the new Hibernate version itself determines the dialect.
