-HCatalog 0.3 was not released. HCatalog 0.2 was the last release of HCatalog.

- - Support for deeply nested maps, arrays, and structs.
- - Switch from StorageDrivers to SerDes. See "Backward Incompatibilities"
- below.
- - Addition of JSonSerDe to support reading and writing JSON data.
- - Rather than releasing rpms from HCatalog, we rely on the rpms provided by
- Apache Bigtop.
- - The HCatalog binary distribution no longer includes Apache Hive. We now
- require that Hive first be installed.
- - The HCatalog source distribution no longer includes Apache Hive source.
- It now pulls the required jars via maven.

Backward Incompatibilities
==========================
-- HCatalog no longer supports its own StorageDriver classes for data
- (de)serialization. Instead it uses Hive's SerDe classes.
-- Rather than releasing rpms from HCatalog, we rely on the rpms provided by
- Apache Bigtop.
-- The HCatalog binary distribution no longer includes Apache Hive. We now
- require that Hive first be installed.
-- The HCatalog source distribution no longer includes Apache Hive source.
- It now pulls the required jars via maven.
-
+- HCatalog no longer publishes a monolithic jar with all classes. Instead,
+ per-submodule jars are published. This allows users to pull in just the
+ needed dependencies when integrating HCatalog with their system.
