As mentionned when closing the previous vote, the preceding artifacts had a regression, see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2992 due to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2785
The following artifacts are based on the artifacts of the previous 0.8.3 vote from which I have reverted the culprit: CASSANDRA-2785. This is the only difference. Please be sure to double check that CASSANDRA-2992 is not a problem with these artifacts. I thus propose the following new artifacts for release as 0.8.3. SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.8.3@r1153917 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-006/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/0.8.3/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-006/ The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ The vote will be open for 72 hours (longer if needed).
