+
+== Release Notes
+
+=== Released
+
+The latest release of Apache Cassandra is 
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/cassandra/4.0.3/apache-cassandra-4.0.3-bin.tar.gz[4.0.3^]
 
(https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/4.0.3/apache-cassandra-4.0.3-bin.tar.gz.asc[pgp^],
 
https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/4.0.3/apache-cassandra-4.0.3-bin.tar.gz.sha256[sha256^],
 and 
https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/4.0.3/apache-cassandra-4.0.3-bin.tar.gz.sha512[sha512^]),
 which has been available since 17 February 2022. As stated in the  [...]
+
+As a result, we are advising 3.0 users to upgrade to 3.0.26; 3.11 users to 
upgrade to 3.11.12; and 4.0 users should upgrade to 4.0.3.
+ 
+Please read the 
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cassandra.git;a=blob_plain;f=NEWS.txt;hb=refs/tags/cassandra-4.0.3[release
 notes^] and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA[let us know^] if 
you encounter any problems.
+
+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 xref:download.adoc[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 
xref:community.adoc#discussions[mailing lists].
+
+== Community Notes
+
+_Updates on Cassandra Enhancement Proposals (CEPs), how to contribute, and 
other community activities._
+
+_Are you new to the project?  We have a handy 
xref:development/index.adoc[‘Contributing to Cassandra’] page for how to get 
involved and get started. Additionally, we have established two boards you 
should take a look at if you are new to the project. One is a kanban board for 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=496&quickFilter=2252[“Failing
 Tests” tickets that are unassigned^] and the other corresponds to our 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/RapidBoard.js [...]
+
+_Any of these tickets should be of appropriate complexity for someone new to 
the project to tackle. Just remember to assign yourself to the ticket and 
acknowledge the status, such as ‘Work in Progress’ and ‘Needs Comitter/Patch 
Available’ when you submit your patch. You can also reach out on the 
https://the-asf.slack.com/[ASF Slack^] in the #cassandra-dev Slack channel. Use 
@cassandra_mentors to contact our Cassandra mentors!_
+
+Read PMC member Josh McKenzie’s 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/lnmw2b4hzkl977p9hxv1sbdfqlq5snc6[latest 
bi-weekly update^] for ongoing discussions and the latest on ticket progress.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+We are fast approaching 1 May and the cut of the next release, which will be 
Cassandra 4.1. At time of writing, this date is likely to be when features are 
frozen with a goal of GA on 1 July. 
+
+*Note:* for this cycle only, we will continue to support 3.0 as well as the 
3.11.latest, 4.0.latest, and 4.1.latest. See 
xref:blog/Behind-the-scenes-of-an-Apache-Cassandra-Release.adoc[Behind the 
Scenes of an Apache Cassandra Release] for more details.
+
+=== Announced
+
+The PMC is pleased to announce that *Aleksandr Sorokoumov* has 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/g45sbmbt29v8t29frn23mkldsb8g97of[accepted an 
invitation to become a committer] on the project. Aleksandr has been working on 
the project for a number of years and the honor is well deserved. 👏
+
+=== Announced
+
+Michael Larabel at Linux and hardware news site, Phoronix, has highlighted 
that

promising performance benefits. Multi-Gen LRU (MGLRU), developed by Google 
engineers, “reworks how the Linux kernel's page reclamation code is handled,” 
says Larabel. “MGLRU has been showin [...]
+
+=== Announced
+
+Bloomberg has listed Apache Cassandra as one of the key technologies in its 
tech stack on its new https://t.co/7SjGBGGuKG[open source tech at Bloomberg 
site^], where it promotes and encourages open source contributions.
+
+image::blog/changelog-14-bloomberg-opensource.png[Apache Cassandra is at the 
tech heart of a media conglomerate.]
+
+=== Announced
+
+The ASF has a podcast channel called FeatherCast and in the interest of 
freshening up past Apache Cassandra contributions and promoting the project, 
*Sharan Foga* is 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/fnb1pnkn7jf64382y100w9tzkm3yn06t[kickstarting a 
new series of interviews^]. 
+
+=== Announced
+
+We need more volunteers for Build Lead. Thank you to the six people who have 
participated so far since we started the rotation, but we need more to sign up. 
You can learn more about the role on the 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/DI3kCw[wiki page^] and the 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/kyyo5k3my2nx160mfgy0xkwo8xjh2qpv[related 
mailing list thread^]. 
+
+=== Discussed
+
+Worthy of references to greek mythology, *Stefan Miklosovic* took on the 
herculean (and  sisyphean) task of 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/pxc1hcz4hty8m6qfjp156mtqd1vmhz7t[cleaning up 
Cassandra’s GitHub PRs^]. This highlighted the need to discuss how PRs fit into 
the merge process, the right way to perform house-cleaning, and how we can 
document the process for future reference.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+For the latest on Cassandra’s journey to Java 17 support and whether it's 
likely to make it into 4.1, read 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/hny49r5vlg4nn9d53n3fksxvjg71joqz[*Ekaterina 
Dimitrova*’s update^].
+
+=== Discussed 
+
+A discussion continues on how to best use 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/qcys3do5p3g8gdb178l5ltfo35lf10ck[LinkedIn as a 
marketing channel^] for the project and around having multiple community groups 
on LinkedIn, some informal and some formally endorsed by the PMC. There is also 
discussion on how to best organize marketing and PR initiatives for Cassandra 
while retaining transparency in the process.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+*Benedict Elliott-Smith* has opened a thread on updating the Cassandra Code 
Style style guidance for contributors and supplied a 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sjw0crb0clQin2tMgZLt_ob4hYfLJYaU4lRX722htTo/edit[working
 document^] for discussion.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+*Tibor Répási* has opened the discussion about the right next steps for our 
usage of the now deprecated 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/bc15lg79dl29q51w92nn2t0d2v7f5yvx[airlift/airline
 framework^] used in our CLI tools. The project restricts API breaking changes 
to Major releases only and qualify CLI output changes as API breaking as we can 
expect operational tooling to depend on formats for functionality.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+https://www.apachecon.com/acna2022/[ApacheCon North America 2022^] will take 
place on 3-6 October at the New Orleans Sheraton and there have been some 
discussion around Apache Cassandra CFPs, and participating in the new 
performance engineering track, but we will confirm details once they are 
official.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+Participation in 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/255nrv722vdq5yjpo2rwl48s90d8910d[Google Season 
of Docs for 2022 was discussed^], but the community has decided to pursue 
necessary preparations for participating next year.
+
+=== Discussed
+
+Apache Cassandra uses dtest (short for ‘distributed tests’) as an open source 
test suite and the community is discussing what framework to use and whether we 
should depreciate Python dtest in favor of the in-jvm dtest framework. You can 
join the discussion 
https://lists.apache.org/thread/0nqjj7r2yskkglw9lxxk7xgnpqcdf46r[here^].

+“Cassandra allows us to create systems that work in multiple data centers as 
one logical cluster. We meet customer demand for geographic redundancy, and can 
work in active-active, load-sharing mode across multiple data centers.”
