[RELEASE] Java driver 3.11.0

[Alexandre Dutra]

Hi,

We just released a new minor version of the legacy 3.x driver: 3.11.0.

The most important change is the promotion of protocol v5 from beta to production-ready status. Thanks to this change, this driver version is the first one in the 3.x series to fully support protocol v5, which will be available in the upcoming Cassandra 4.0 release.

Here is the full changelog:

• [improvement] JAVA-2705: Remove protocol v5 beta status, add v6-beta.
• [bug] JAVA-2923: Detect and use Guava's new HostAndPort.getHost method.
• [bug] JAVA-2922: Switch to modern framing format inside a channel handler.
• [bug] JAVA-2924: Consider protocol version unsupported when server requires USE_BETA flag for it.

As usual, the driver is available from Maven central:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
  <artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
  <version>3.11.0</version>
</dependency>

Thanks,

Alexandre Dutra
