The Apache Calcite team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Calcite Avatica 1.7.1. This is the first release of Avatica as a "standalone" project from the rest of the Calcite project. This release is an exciting milestone for Avatica as it increases the frequency and reduces the complexity for future releases. This release includes ~30 resolved JIRA issues from 3 contributors. See our downloads page for information on how to start using this version of Avatica. http://calcite.apache.org/avatica/downloads/ If you'd like to download the source release, you can find it here: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/calcite/apache-calcite-avatica-1.7.1/ You can read more about the release (including release notes) here: http://calcite.apache.org/avatica/news/2016/03/18/release-1.7.1/ This release also contains a change to increase the version of the Jetty dependency to a version which is not affected by CVE-2015-2080. Users are strongly suggested to update to this version of Avatica, or manually override the Jetty dependency to a version which is not affected. Apache Calcite Avatica 1.7.0, and all versions since 1.1.0-incubating, should not be used for this reason. We welcome your help and feedback.
