Xen reaches 2.0.6 and sails towards 3.0

Tuesday, May 24, 2005 | 0 Comments |

Quoting from official Xen-announce mailing list: The Xen team are pleased to announce the release of Xen 2.0.6 ! This release includes support for Linux versions 2.6.11.10 and 2.4.30, NetBSD 2.0 and FreeBSD 5.3, along with many bug fixes. In particular: * a fix to a nasty VM relocation bug * several AGP/DRM fixes * block device performance fix * CDROM and floppy fixes * better hyperthreading support * misc tool hardening and improved default security The announcement also anticipates 3.0 release: Early in June we will be releasing the 3.0-testing series, which is the first step toward the 3.0.0 release. There are a number of important architectural changes in the 3.0 development tree, and we'll be creating the testing series as soon as 32 bit x86 (<4GB) support has the full feature superset of 2.0, with a good level of stability and enhanced performance (including SMP guest support). Other ports such as x86_64 and x86 >8GB support will not have the same level of maturity, but hopefully this will be achieved through extensive testing and continuing development over the coming weeks.
