regardless of what was written in a wiki somewhere, it is a bit aggressive I think.
there are a fair number of automated things that link to the former stable releases that are now broken as they weren't given a grace period to cut over. not the end of the world or anything. just a bit of a disconnect to reference something labeled stable where the reference itself isn't. too bad there isn't some 'stable' link that itself is updated to the actual stable release. we do this now with all of the cascading artifacts. it prevents automated things from breaking immediately. http://files.cascading.org/sdk/2.1/latest.txt ckw On Aug 5, 2013, at 11:20 AM, Matt Foley <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > It's still available in archive at > http://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/.
