[ANNOUNCE] Apache BookKeeper 4.2.3 released

2014-06-29 Thread Ivan Kelly
The Apache BookKeeper team is pleased to announce Apache BookKeeper 4.2.3.
 
This is the sixth release of the Apache BookKeeper subproject of ZooKeeper.

The BookKeeper project is made up of a distributed logging service called 
BookKeeper and a distributed publish/subscribe system build on top of 
BookKeeper called Hedwig.

This is a bugfix release for 4.2.2.

Notable fixes and improvements include new utilities to give administrators 
better visibility of cluster state (BOOKKEEPER-746), improvements to allow for 
smoother rolling upgrades (BOOKKEEPER-745), fixes to ledger polling to ensure 
metadata updates aren't missed (BOOKKEEPER-710 & BOOKKEEPER-747) and shading of 
protobuf libraries to avoid conflicts when included with other version 
(BOOKKEEPER-708).
