I have created a candidate build for Avro release 1.3.0.
In this release: - the Avro file format has been revised and simplified; - the source tree and release artifacts have been restructured; - the Python port has been largely rewritten; - the C port is now considerably more complete, supporting data files; - a Ruby port has been added, supporting data files and RPC. Please download, test, and vote by 19 February. http://people.apache.org/~cutting/avro-1.3.0-RC0/ Thanks, Doug
