Cassandra 1.2.x EOL date

[Jason Unovitch <ja...@gmail.com>]

Evening list,
Simple and quick question, can anyone point me to where the Cassandra
1.2.x series EOL date was announced?  I see archived mailing list
threads for 1.2.19 mentioning it was going to be the last release and
I see CVE-2015-0225 mention it is EOL.   I didn't see it say when the
official EOL date was.

Thanks!

Jason

When version n+2 is released, version n is EOL. Release dates for new
versions are not generally known in advance.

2.1.5 has been released, so 1.2.19 (2.1, 2.0, 1.2 = 1.2 is current -2) is
EOL for the 1.2 branch as of its release date.

In some very very rare case, it is theoretically possible that the most
recent version of an EOL branch might get a patch.
