+1 Repeated the same steps <https://lists.apache.org/thread/olttl7fx5yl9zxfzlmhw0lqc17n3w1zs> used to validate the first attempt at this release. For convenience I'll include the relevant list here again:
- Validated all signatures - Validated the tag and commit - Confirmed "go build" worked without issue - Confirmed "go test" passed - Ran a simple test app (accessing and printing release_version on system.local) using the downloaded tarball as the gocql module On Fri, Oct 10, 2025 at 2:04 PM João Reis <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey folks, > > I’m proposing the Apache Cassandra GoCQL Driver 2.0.0 for release (2nd > attempt). > > sha1: f3e2b397adaaf5f8742068dfbd88958c824934ee > git: > https://github.com/apache/cassandra-gocql-driver/tree/v2.0.0-tentative > > The Source release is available here (revision 79967): > > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cassandra/cassandra-gocql-driver/2.0.0/ > > As mentioned before in the 2.0.0-rc1 vote thread, this is a major release > of the driver that includes the module name change from " > github.com/gocql/gocql" to "github.com/apache/cassandra-gocql-driver/v2". > During the donation process it was decided that this name change should > happen in a major release since it is a breaking change. > > Initially there were no code changes planned to happen between 2.0.0-rc1 > and 2.0.0 GA but a few bugs were found (introduced in 2.0.0-rc1) and fixed. > The issue [1] that led to the first vote failing has been fixed. > > This release contains documentation updates including the addition of an > upgrade guide [2] to help users with the application code changes that > might be required in order to upgrade from 1.x to 2.x.
