ColumnFamily-based data model. You can read more here:

This version is the first maintenance/bug fix release[1] on the 1.0 series.
It contains a fair amount of fixes so upgrade is encouraged, but please pay
attention to the release notes[2] before doing so. Let us know[3] if you were
to encounter any problem.

Have fun and happy Halloween!
