Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "GettingStarted" page has been changed by EricEvans: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted?action=diff&rev1=14&rev2=15 Download links for the latest stable release can always be found on the [[http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/#download|website]]. 1. Betas and release candidates - Betas are prototype releases considered ready for user testing, and release candidates have the potential to become the next stable release. These releases represent the state-of-the-art so are often the best place to start, and since APIs and on-disk storage formats can change between major versions this can also save you from an upgrade. The testing and feedback is also highly appreciated. + Betas are prototype releases considered ready for user testing, and release candidates have the potential to become the next stable release.

Nightly builds Nightly builds represent the current state of development as of the time of the build. They contain all of the previous days new features, fixes, and newly introduced bugs. The only guarantee they come with is that they successfully build and the unit tests pass. Nightly builds are a handy way of testing recent changes, or accessing the latest features and fixes not found in beta or release candidates, but there is some risk of them being buggy.
