[RELEASE] Apache Cassandra 5.0-alpha1 released

2023-09-08 Thread Mick Semb Wever
The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Cassandra version 5.0-alpha1.

DISCLAIMER, this alpha release does not contain the expected 5.0 features:
Vector Search (CEP-30), Transactional Cluster Metadata (CEP-21) and Accord
Transactions (CEP-15).  These features will land in a later alpha release.

Apache Cassandra is a fully distributed database. It is the right choice
when you need scalability and high availability without compromising
performance.

 http://cassandra.apache.org/

Downloads of source and binary distributions are found here:

 https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/5.0-alpha1/

 https://debian.cassandra.apache.org/pool/main/c/cassandra/
 https://redhat.cassandra.apache.org/50x/


This version is an alpha preview release[1] on the 5.0 series. As always,
please pay attention to the release notes[2] and Let us know[3] if you were
to encounter any problem.

Please also note what our definition of an alpha release means, further
info at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Release+Lifecycle

Debian and RedHat package repositories have moved! Debian
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list and RedHat
/etc/yum.repos.d/cassandra.repo files must be updated to the new repository
URLs. For Debian it is now https://debian.cassandra.apache.org . For RedHat
it is now https://redhat.cassandra.apache.org/50x/ .

Enjoy!
