The Apache Sentry team is happy to announce the release of version 1.4.0-incubating from the Apache Incubator. Apache Sentry is a system to enforce fine grained role based authorization to data and metadata stored on a Hadoop cluster. The release bits are available at: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/sentry The change list is available at: http://s.apache.org/ApB We would like to thank all contributors who made the release possible. Disclaimer Apache Sentry is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. Regards, Sentry team
