We are proud to announce HyperDex 1.4.2, the next generation NoSQL data store
that provides ACID transactions, schema-less documents, fault-tolerance, and
high-performance. Some key features of HyperDex are:

- High Performance: HyperDex is fast. It outperforms MongoDB and
Cassandra on industry-standard benchmarks by a factor of 2X or more.

- Advanced Functionality: With the Warp add-on, HyperDex offers
multi-key transactions that span multiple objects with ACID
guarantees.

- Strong Consistency: HyperDex ensures that every GET returns the
result of the latest PUT.

- Fault Tolerance: HyperDex automatically replicates data to tolerate a
configurable number of failures.

- Scalable: HyperDex automatically redistributes data to make use of
new resources as you add more nodes to your cluster.

This release brings the following changes and improvements:

- Docker support! You can now deploy HyperDex easily and quickly within docker
containers. More: http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/08/21/docker-and-hyperdex/

- There is a new utility to alter the fault tolerance of a given space
dynamically, on a running cluster, without downtime.

- The Mac port compiles and runs on OS X to enable development.

- We now provide binary Linux packages that you can untar and run, without any
additional setup. More: http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/08/21/binary-packages/

- Various bug fixes.

HyperDex runs on 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Centos) and OS X.
Binary packages for Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04,14.04, Fedora 19-20, and CentOS 6
are available [1], as well as source tarballs for other Linux platforms.

This release provides bindings for C, C++, Python, Node.js, Java, Ruby, and Go.

An evaluation version of Warp, and Warp bindings for Python, Java, and Ruby are
available in the HyperDex repository. Install the "hyperdex-warp" package in
your package manager to switch from HyperDex to Warp and test out the
evaluation version.

Happy Hacking,
The HyperDex Team
