The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the first release candidate for the future Apache Cassandra 1.0.
The warnings first: this is *not* the final release and hence should not be considered ready for production use just yet. However, unless major regression are found in the test of this release candidate, the final release should be very similar to this RC. Your help in testing this release candidate will be highly appreciated and while doing so, please report any problem you may encounter[3,4]. The changes since the beta1 can be found in the change log[1] and see the release notes[2] to find what Cassandra 1.0 is made of. Apache Cassandra 1.0.0-rc1[5] is available as usual from the cassandra website: http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it, Cassandra 1.0 is right around the corner!
