It's been a week since the freeze and we don't have too many open tickets for 1.0.0. It seems like a good time to get the first beta out. Note that this is not a release candidate yet, so the goal is more to get some wider testing, to get bugs found sooner than later. There is a few tickets open that will need to be fixed (CASSANDRA-3203 is one), but nothing that sound like a deal breaker as far as testing is concerned.
I thus propose the following artifacts for release as 1.0.0-beta1 SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-1.0.0@r1170682 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-059/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/1.0.0-beta1/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-059/ The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ Because the 1.0.0 branch has had fair testing from at least a few of us since the freeze and because we need to get things moving if we want to have a chance to met our original October 8th release date, I propose a shorter 24h vote (longer if needed).
