## News
+###8 January, 2015: Gora upgrades to Hadoop 2.5.X and HBase 0.98.X
+Today our Jira issue
[GORA-375](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-375) was resolved
+with the result that the Gora community can now upgrade their systems to
operate on Hadoop 2.X
+and HBase 0.98.
+Specifically the versions which we recommend are as follows:
+
+ - Apache Hadoop 2.5.2
+ - Apache HBase 0.98.8-hadoop2
+
+Best efforts have also been made to retain backwards compatibility for Hadoop
1.X users,
+therefore we have upgraded to, and still support Hadoop 1.2.1 via the addition
of our
+Shim layers. For further details on our Shim layers and pluggable Hadoop
support please
+see Jira issue [GORA-346](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-375).
Additional
+documentation for the use of Shim layers within Gora will soon be documented
and linked to
+from our [current
documentation](http://gora.apache.org/current/index.html#gora-modules).

###20 September, 2014: Apache Gora 0.5 Release
The Apache Gora team are pleased to announce the immediate availability of
Apache Gora 0.5.
