The first HBase 1.4.6 release candidate (RC0) is available for download at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.4.6RC0/ and Maven artifacts are available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1226/ .
The git tag corresponding to the candidate is '1.4.6RC0' (a55bcbd4fc). A detailed source and binary compatibility report for this release is available for your review at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.4.6RC0/compat-check-report.html . There is an added method to the LimitedPrivate interface ReplicationPeer which will not cause binary compatibility issues but will require source changes at recompilation. This type of additive change is allowed. The internal utility class Base64 has been made private and so the related changes are allowed. A list of the 34 issues resolved in this release can be found at https://s.apache.org/kolm . Please try out the candidate and vote +1/0/-1. This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless objection I will try to close it Monday July 30, 2018 if we have sufficient votes.
