(dropping user)
It's probably also worth mentioning that CASSANDRA-15937 will impact
what gets received on some of the JMX endpoints related to including
storage ports along with addresses, but all of the changes I view as
bugfixes on the original rather than any new functionality (for
example LoadMap / LoadMap with port outputs should be swapped and
ownership/scores are inconsistently formatted).
I expect to have a patch posted for it today, but please get in touch
if anybody has concerns about the changes.

A quick followup note to both user and dev groups.
Our Beta release guidelines¹ states that there will be no further API
changes leading up to 4.0 GA.
But we do currently have in place three planned exceptions to this, found in
the following tickets:
- CASSANDRA-15299 – "CASSANDRA-13304 follow-up: improve checksumming and
compression in protocol v5-beta"
- CASSANDRA-15234 – Standardise config and JVM parameters
- CASSANDRA-13701 – Lower default num_tokens
The API changes to these are minimal, and part of the reason these were
allowed to slip into the beta phase.
For example…
* CASSANDRA-15299 only affects those that are using the not yet stabilised
v5 native protocol.
* CASSANDRA-15234 will introduce cleaner, easier to use, cassandra.yaml
settings, but all existing yaml setting names will still work.
* CASSANDRA-13701 will change the default num_tokens setting to 16 (from
256), a change that will only impact provisioning of new clusters (because
existing clusters must configure any new nodes to use the existing
num_tokens value).
All three tickets have fixVersion still set to `4.0-alpha` because of this
situation.

A quick followup note to both user and dev groups.
Our Beta release guidelines¹ states that there will be no further API
changes leading up to 4.0 GA.
But we do currently have in place three planned exceptions to this, found in
the following tickets:
- CASSANDRA-15299 – "CASSANDRA-13304 follow-up: improve checksumming and
compression in protocol v5-beta"
- CASSANDRA-15234 – Standardise config and JVM parameters
- CASSANDRA-13701 – Lower default num_tokens
The API changes to these are minimal, and part of the reason these were
allowed to slip into the beta phase.
For example…
* CASSANDRA-15299 only affects those that are using the not yet stabilised
v5 native protocol.
* CASSANDRA-15234 will introduce cleaner, easier to use, cassandra.yaml
settings, but all existing yaml setting names will still work.
* CASSANDRA-13701 will change the default num_tokens setting to 16 (from
256), a change that will only impact provisioning of new clusters (because
existing clusters must configure any new nodes to use the existing
num_tokens value).
All three tickets have fixVersion still set to `4.0-alpha` because of this
situation.

Cassandra can be built with either JDK 8 or JDK 11.
Our formal releases are built with JDK 8.

Did it mean to read "Development builds can use *Java 11 without 8*."?
