On behalf of the Apache Hadoop Project Management Committee, I am pleased to announce the release of Apache Hadoop 1.5.0.
For the list of changes, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-19727 The key tangible one is HADOOP-19694: guava is at 33.4.8-jre. This release is built with java8; it is still compatible with older versions and Java runtimes. Many thanks to everyone who helped in this release. -Steve
