It's only been a couple of weeks since the last release, but a rather nasty bug (some details here[1]) has since been fixed, and it seemed best to get that out to folks sooner rather than later.
The issue in question is well explained in the release notes[3], but the TL;DR is that users of 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 are encouraged to upgrade to 0.7.3, and run `nodetool scrub' to address bloom filters that may have been incorrectly generated when compacting older SSTables. There have been a number of other fixes since 0.7.2 as well, so even if you're running < 0.7.1, it's still worth the update[5,6]. As always, be sure to read through all of the changes[2] and release notes[3]. Report any problems you find[4], and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
