The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the first release candidate for the future Apache Cassandra 1.2.0.
Let me first stress that this is not the final release yet and as such is *not* ready for production use. This release is getting very close to a final version but may still contain bugs. All available testing of this release will help making 1.2.0 final a better release and would thus be greatly appreciated. If you were to encounter any problem during your testing, please report[3,4] them. Be sure to a look at the change log[1] and the release notes[2] to see where Cassandra 1.2 differs from the previous series. Apache Cassandra 1.2.0-rc1[5] is available as usual from the cassandra website (http://cassandra.apache.org/download/) and a debian package is available using the 12x branch (see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging). Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it.
