Does Hibernate 5 still support Hibernate Spatial?

Question

According to the following link:

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.1/quickstart/html_single/#_release_bundle_downloads

There should be a folder "lib/spatial" that contains the hibernate spatial jars, however it seems to be the one folder missing in the lib folder from the standard download. (I've tried Hibernate versions 5.0.6, 5.0.8 & 5.1.0).

Hibernate 5 is not supported yet. If you check the official website:

hibernatespatial

You will see:

Compatibility with Hibernate ORM

Hibernate Spatial version 4.3 is compatible with Hibernate 4.3.x only
Hibernate Spatial version 4.0 is compatible with Hibernate 4.x only
Hibernate Spatial version 1.1.x is compatible with Hibernate 3.6.x
Hibernate Spatial version 1.0 is compatible with Hibernate 3.2.x - 3.5.x

But do not be afraid, the work has already started on Version 5. There is already a hibernate spatial jar uploaded here, but it is less than a month old.
