Here is our first 0.95.1 release candidate. Should we put this out as 0.95.1?
Since this 0.95.1 is a "Development" Series release [1], lets keep the vote period short. Please vote by this friday, May 31st. 0.95.1 will be the second in our 0.95 "Development" Series of releases [1]. The 0.95.x Development releases are previews of the coming Summer Blockbuster, 0.96.0, our next major release intended to replace the current 0.94 series. Development series releases are not for production. They are preview, raw releases that have been barely-tested put out early so developers and the interested can get some early exposure to what is coming down the pipe. Putting out these 'rough cuts' helps to get the feedback started earlier while the release is still baking. See [1] for more on our development series phenomenon. The release artifacts may be downloaded from: http://people.apache.org/~stack/hbase-0.95.1RC0/ Over 215 issues have been closed since we put out 0.95.0 [2]. All feedback is welcome. We'd be interested in getting comments on everything from the packaging, layout, through documentation, UI, and of course, any bugs found. I deployed SNAPSHOTs to maven and would particularly like to hear from downstream projects on whether our maven packaging is palatable.
