The first release candidate actually introduced a pretty nasty regression from beta1: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3285
This (and a few other minor patches) sounds enough to warrant a new RC, so I propose the following artifacts for release as 1.0.0-rc2. SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-1.0.0@r1177726 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-013/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/1.0.0-rc2/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-/ The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ There hasn't been much since rc1 and #3285, while critical, has a fairly simple fix, so I propose to stick to a short 24h vote (longer if needed).
