+== Hibernate Models
+
+For many years Hibernate has used the Hibernate Commons Annotations (HCANN) library for handling various low-level tasks
+related to understanding the structure of an application domain model, reading annotations and weaving in XML
+mapping documents.
+
+However, HCANN suffers from a number of limitations that continue to be problematic.  And given
+the use of HCANN across multiple projects, doing the needed refactoring was simply not possible.
+
+The https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-models[Hibernate Models] project was developed to be a better alternative
+to HCANN.  Hibernate Models is essentially an abstraction over reflection (`Type`, `Class`, `Member`, ...) and
+annotations.  Check out its project page for complete details.
+
+7.0 uses Hibernate Models in place of HCANN.
+
+NOTE: Currently, the `hibernate-envers` module still uses HCANN.  That will change during continued 7.0 development.
