+
+== Release Notes
+
+=== Released
+
+Available since 7th September, the latest release of Apache Cassandra is
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/cassandra/4.0.1[4.0.1,window=_blank],
(https://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/4.0.1/apache-cassandra-4.0.1-bin.tar.gz.asc[pgp^],
https://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/4.0.1/apache-cassandra-4.0.1-bin.tar.gz.sha256[sha256^],
and
https://archive.apache.org/dist/cassandra/4.0.1/apache-cassandra-4.0.1-bin.tar.gz.sha512[
sha512^]). This was a rapid release to fix a https://i [...]
+
+Note: As the docs are not yet updated, the bintray location for Debian users
is replaced with the https://apache.jfrog.io/artifactory/cassandra/[ASF's JFrog
Artifactory location^].
+
+See the https://cassandra.apache.org/download/[download section^] for the
latest stable and older supported versions of source and binary distributions.
+
+To stay up-to-date, we recommend joining the Cassandra
https://cassandra.apache.org/community/[mailing list^].
+
+== Community Notes
+
+_Updates on Cassandra Enhancement Proposals (CEPs), how to contribute, and
other community activities._
+
+Are you new to the project? We have established a
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=484[New Release
tracking Kanboard^] and a
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=484&quickFilter=2162&quickFilter=2160[“Starter
Tickets”^] quick label that corresponds to our Low Hanging Fruit status. Any
of these tickets should be of appropriate complexity for someone new to the
project to tackle. You can also reach out in the #cassandra-dev Slack ch [...]

+Read PMC member Josh McKenzie’s
https://lists.apache.org/thread/9rzwl3s2fr734sdc5jynbxz3z4vht3df[latest
bi-weekly update^] for ongoing discussions and the latest on ticket progress.
+
+=== Advisory
+
+Apache Cassandra is _not_ vulnerable to the log4shell vulnerability, as you
can see in Jira ticket,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5883[CASSANDRA-5883^], Apache
Cassandra never chose to use log4j2 preferring logback instead.
+
+=== Announced
+
+During December we ran an
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20CASSANDRA%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20AdventCalendar2021%20[Advent
Calendar (Twitter initiative)^] of new tickets to get started on. This was a
great way for new project contributors to pick up hand-curated tickets to dive
into.

Twitter]
+
+=== Announced
+
+It may be cold outside, but we’re warming ourselves up with thoughts of a
great Google Summer of Code, and there are some exciting changes this year!
Read https://lists.apache.org/thread/58v2bvfzwtfgqdx90qmm4tmyoqzsgtn4[Paulo
Motta’s post^] on the mailing list.
+
+=== Announced
+
+Ubuntu 21.10 includes Apache Cassandra
https://www.devopsdigest.com/canonical-releases-ubuntu-2110[“packaged as a
snap, enabling DataOps teams to set up a Cassandra cluster”^], and the latest
LTS Docker Images now include Apache Cassandra v4.
+
+=== Announced
+
+Apple indicates support and encourages further contribution to the Apache
Cassandra community with a https://opensource.apple.com/projects/[new online
portal^] covering all its open source projects and contributions.
+
+=== Added
+
+The Project Management Committee (PMC) is pleased to announce that *Sumanth
Pasupuleti* has been invited to
https://lists.apache.org/thread/kvsvltom5p79bk2r1j52sxl3y3qjl71w[become a
committer^], and he has accepted! Thank you for all your contributions Sumanth,
and congratulations! 👏
+
+=== Added
+
+An https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/gYvkCw[up-to-date roadmap^] for the
project has been added to the wiki.
+
+=== Added
+
+Andrés de la Peña opened a discussion about
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/wxkRCQ[CEP-3^], a guardrails feature that
is intended to be an easy way to “enforce system-wide soft and hard limits to
prevent anti-patterns of bad usage”. In the long-term this is intended to
prevent the severe degradation of a node/cluster’s performance through user
actions such as having too many secondary indexes, too large partitions, almost
full disks, and so on. This feature passed a vote, has been [...]
+
+=== Added
+
+https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/LY7OCg[CEP-10 Cluster and Code
Simulation^] passed a vote and Benedict Elliot Smith has merged in the
simulator changes so can expect to see some interesting things showing up
regarding correctness on our system from the new testing paradigms this enables.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+Josh McKenzie is seeking more feedback on the topic of keeping a releasable
trunk and our quality on the project. You can join
https://lists.apache.org/thread/8xt4tqb3w4j3jyxj859o3vs8f5xjgqg8[the discussion
here^]
+
+=== Passed
+
+After clarification that the API for distributed transactions will be modular
/ pluggable, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/FQRACw[CEP-15 General
Purpose Transactions^] passed. This work will allow for experimentation in the
future with other algorithms. As a community we're excited to see how the
project evolves!
+
+=== Passed
+
+
+https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/8AtACw[CEP-16 Auth Plugin Support for
CQLSH^], proposed by Stefan Miklosovic, will enable switching to a new enhanced
authentication scheme while retaining the ability to use cqlsh in normal
operation. A vote was taken and passed and the feature is in development.
+
+=== Passed
+
+https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/sotnCw[CEP-17^] by Jacek Lewandowski is
around an SSTable format API. The proposal is for a design that enables for
optionally plugging-in alternative implementations of SSTables and for testing
the individual implementations in isolation. You can follow the

+
+=== Closed
+
+https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/5YtnCw[CEP-18^] was under discussion to
add more modularity to a few different subsystems. It was decided to close the
CEP to enable ideas to be considered individually, rather than grouped under
one feature proposal.

we’re looking forward to the performance and management improvements in the 4.0
release. We rely on Cassandra to help manage nearly two exabytes of customer
data and serve over 500 billion files for our customers across 175 countries so
optimizing Cassandra’s capabilities and performance means a lot to us.” -
