+# HBASE  2.5.1 Release Notes
+
+These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27381](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27381) | *Major* | **Still seeing 'Stuck' in static initialization creating RegionInfo instance**
+
+Static constant UNDEFINED has been removed from public interface RegionInfo. This is a breaking change, but resolves a critical deadlock bug. This constant was never meant to be exposed and has been deprecated since version 2.3.2 with no replacement.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27372](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27372) | *Major* | **Update java versions in our Dockerfiles**
+
+Upgrade java version to 11.0.16.1 and 8u345b01 in the docker files which are used in our pre commit and nightly jobs.
+Remove JDK7 in these docker files as we do not support JDK7 any more.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27371](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27371) | *Major* | **Bump spotbugs version**
+
+Bump spotbugs version from 4.2.2 to 4.7.2. Also bump maven spotbugs plugin version from 4.2.0 to 4.7.2.0.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27224](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27224) | *Major* | **HFile tool statistic sampling produces misleading results**
+
+Fixes HFilePrettyPrinter's calculation of min and max size for an HFile so that it will truly be the min and max for the whole file. Previously was based on just a sampling, as with the histograms. Additionally adds a new argument to the tool '-d' which prints detailed range counts for each summary. The range counts give you the exact count of rows/cells that fall within the pre-defined ranges, useful for giving more detailed insight into outliers.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27340](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27340) | *Minor* | **Artifacts with resolved profiles**
+
+Published poms now contain runtime dependencies only; build and test time dependencies are stripped. Profiles are also now resolved and in-lined at publish time. This removes the need/ability of downstreamers shaping hbase dependencies via enable/disable of hbase profile settings (Implication is that now the hbase project publishes artifacts for hadoop2 and for hadoop3, and so on).
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27320](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27320) | *Minor* | **hide some sensitive configuration information in the UI**
+
+hide superuser and password related settings in the configuration UI
