The Nexus path will be: * https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/avro/ This release includes several bug fixes and a few notable features: * IPC/RPC support in Javascript (Thanks to mtth!) * Support for aliases in Java Protocols (Thanks to Konstantin Usachev!) * Support for date, time, and timestamp in Java's specific object model Please download, verify, and test.
