Hibernate 5.2.2: No Persistence provider for EntityManager

Question

What has changed between Hibernate 5.1.1 and 5.2.2? If I use 5.2.2 I'll get an error message "No Persistence provider for EntityManager named pu". Exactly the same configuration works with 5.1.1. How should I change my code to get 5.2.2 to work?

creating EntityManager

factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("pu");
em = factory.createEntityManager();
tx = em.getTransaction();

The class org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence does not exist in the hibernate-release-5.2.2.Final.zip bundle file. That's why the provider can't be found, because the class can't (at the project library jars). Instead, I used the class org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider, which CAN be found at hibernate-core-5.2.2.Final.jar (that comes with hibernate-release-5.2.2.Final.zip bundle), by changing the provider at persistence.xml to <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>. Doing so, it worked fine! Hope the problem is only this.
