Xen 3.0.5 Third Release Candidate

Xen 3.0.5 Third Release Candidate

[Keir Fraser]

The third release candidate for Xen 3.0.5 is now available at
http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-3.0.5-testing.hg. Quite a few
issues are fixed: 32-bit PV-on-HVM on 64-bit hypervisor, virtual framebuffer
setup, HVM ioemu and rombios issues, to name a few. I would like the next
release candidate to be a *realistic* candidate for release -- hence it is
absolutely bug fixes only from here on to reduce churn, and we need as much
testing as possible to make -rc4 a good one. We're getting close!

 Thanks,
 Keir

No comment on the insecurity of the xen API? Are we all missing
something?

Perhaps you could create an appropriate /etc/pam.d/xend file?


cheers,

Well, I'd be happy to help if I could but AFAIK we've not even had the
discussion on what exactly we want to do.

Unless you're referring to disabling logins in the meantime: that'd be
fine but someone would still need to work out the certificates thing.
