Moving general@ to BCC, The main page and releases posts on hadoop.apache.org are pretty clear about this being a diff from beta1, am I missing something? Pasted below:
After four alpha releases and one beta release, 3.0.0 is generally available. 3.0.0 consists of 302 bug fixes, improvements, and other enhancements since 3.0.0-beta1. All together, 6242 issues were fixed as part of the 3.0.0 release series since 2.7.0. Users are encouraged to read the overview of major changes <http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.0.0/index.html> in 3.0.0. The GA release notes <http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.0.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/release/3.0.0/RELEASENOTES.3.0.0.html> and changelog <http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.0.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/release/3.0.0/CHANGES.3.0.0.html> detail the changes since 3.0.0-beta1.
