Cassandra 0.7.7 has just been release, but a regression in it has been found (hints are not delivered): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2928
The fixed has been committed and thus I propose the following artifacts for release as 0.7.8. SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.7@r1149176 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-022/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/0.7.8/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-022 The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ Because 0.7.7 was released so recently, the changelog for 0.7.8 is very thin and has mostly minor, unlikely to break anything, fixes (that is, outside of CASSANDRA-2928). I thus propose an expedited vote of 24 hours (longer if needed). [1]: http://goo.gl/st9uo (CHANGES.txt) [2]: http://goo.gl/TXek9 (NEWS.txt)
