The first beta played its role well: bugs, small and bigger, were fixed[1]. We have no ticket left open for 1.0.0 except for a few that are minor, aren't regressions and imho are no blocker as far as the release of 1.0.0 is concerned. So proceeding with our plan, I think the final release is around the corner and I thus propose the following artifacts for release as 1.0.0-rc1.
SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-1.0.0@r1175771 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-103/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/1.0.0-rc1/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-103/ The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ Since the beta 1 release has been overall rather calm, given this not a final release (yet) and in order to stick to the schedule as much as we can, I propose a short 24h vote (longer if needed).
