A small error in the debian setup script made it's way into the debian package of 0.7.6 (more details here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2641). We are working on fixing the problem but we must follow the apache process and as a result this may take a little longer than we would hope.
Note that if you are not using the debian package you can safely ignore this mail. Otherwise, you may want to wait a little longer before updating. We will keep you posted as to when this is resolved. PS: For the very impatient, you can also build the package from the source after having applied the second patch attached with the issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2641). -- Sylvain On Wed, May 18, 2011 at 12:19 PM, Sylvain Lebresne <sylv...@datastax.com> wrote: > The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Cassandra > version 0.7.6. > > Cassandra is a highly scalable second-generation distributed database, > bringing together Dynamo's fully distributed design and Bigtable's > ColumnFamily-based data model.
