Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, a day of parades, sporting events, and tryptophan-induced blackouts. No matter where you live though, you'll have a little something extra to be thankful for, a shiny new Cassandra release!
Now, before you scramble off to start an upgrade, I'm obligated to remind you that this is not an official stable release. It's a release *candidate*. My confidence in it is high but you should be suitably skeptical until testing it yourself. So... test it yourself, mmmkay? As usual, please be sure to read through the changes[1] and release notes[2]. Report any problems you find[3], and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask (here is good). Thanks!
