Subject: [BETA RELEASE] Apache Cassandra 1.0.0-beta1 released
To: user@cassandra.apache.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the first beta for
the future Apache Cassandra 1.0.

Let me first stress that this is beta software and as such is *not* ready for
production use.

The goal of this release is to give a preview of what will be Cassandra 1.0
and more importantly to get wider testing before the final release. So please
help us make Cassandra 1.0 be the best it possibly could by testing this beta
release and reporting any problem you may encounter[3,4]. You can have a look
at the change log[1] and the release notes[2] to see where Cassandra 1.0
differs from the 0.8 series.

Apache Cassandra 1.0.0-beta1[5] is available as usual from the cassandra
website:

Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it.
