Apache Cassandra 1.2.0-beta2 released by Sylvain Lebresne.
From the post:
The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the second beta for the future Apache Cassandra 1.2.0.
Let me first stress that this is beta software and as such is *not* ready for production use.
This release is still beta so is likely not bug free. However, lots have been fixed since beta1 and if everything goes right, we are hopeful that a first release candidate may follow shortly. Please do help testing this beta to help make that happen. If you encounter any problem during your testing, please report[3,4] them. And be sure to a look at the change log[1] and the release notes[2] to see where Cassandra 1.2 differs from the previous series.
Something to keep you busy over the weekend!
