Summary
The DataStax C/C++ driver for Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise has released its 2.0 version, featuring new major enhancements such as a latency-aware routing policy and performance metrics. Additionally, the API has been improved with the removal of wrapper types in favor of plain C types, and the addition of string conversion functions for CassInet. The internal dependency on Boost has also been removed. This release aims to improve application performance and debugging capabilities while maintaining compatibility with existing codebases. Future releases will focus on supporting newer versions of Cassandra and incorporating user feedback.
