== Dependency Versions for grails-bom

Grails applications rely on a set of dependencies managed through a Bill of Materials (BOM). The application BOM is `org.apache.grails:grails-bom`. This BOM serves as a centralized location to declare and manage versions of dependencies used within Grails applications. Understanding these dependencies and their versions is crucial for effective project management and dependency resolution.

=== BOM Variants

The Grails BOM is published in three variants to support different Hibernate versions:

[cols="1,2,2", options="header"]
|===
| Variant | Coordinates | Description
| **Default** | `org.apache.grails:grails-bom` | The default BOM, uses Hibernate 5 compatible dependency versions (link:{versionsRef}Grails%20BOM.html[view dependencies])
| **Hibernate 5** | `org.apache.grails:grails-hibernate5-bom` | Explicit Hibernate 5 BOM with Hibernate 5 compatible Liquibase versions (link:{versionsRef}Grails%20BOM%20Hibernate5.html[view dependencies])
| **Hibernate 7** | `org.apache.grails:grails-hibernate7-bom` | Hibernate 7 BOM with Hibernate 7 compatible Liquibase versions (link:{versionsRef}Grails%20BOM%20Hibernate7.html[view dependencies])
|===

The primary difference between the variants is the Liquibase dependency versions and the Liquibase Hibernate extension used (`liquibase-hibernate5` vs `liquibase-hibernate7`).
