+
+== 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
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/caouhufyfdawk6vmkq16eqm7fshresviifnxw2yj_rdumsjj...@mail.gmail.com/T/#m7be5d832e631010bde7a2f5301013c3bed88e963[recent
MGLRU benchmark test results^] for Apache Cassandra workloads indicate
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.
+

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.”
