[ANNOUNCE] Xen 3.2.0 released!

[ANNOUNCE] Xen 3.2.0 released!

[Keir Fraser]

Folks, 

We're pleased to announce the official release of Xen 3.2.0!

This has been a while coming, and represents the culmination of a lot of
work to improve architectural cleanliness 'under the hood', while also
providing a range of new user-visible features including:

 - Xen Security Modules (XSM)
 - ACPI S3 suspend-to-RAM support for the host system
 - Preliminary PCI pass-through support (using appropriate Intel or AMD
I/O-virtualisation hardware)
 - Preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully virtualised
(HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 'real mode'.
 - Faster emulation of standard (non-super) VGA modes for HVM guests
 - Configurable timer modes for HVM guests, depending on how the guest OS
manages time-keeping
 - Many other changes and enhancements across all supported machine
architectures

You can get the source using mercurial from:
  http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg

To extract your own source tarball:
  # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg
  # cd xen-3.2-testing.hg
  # hg archive -t tgz -r RELEASE-3.2.0 ../xen-3.2.0.tar.gz

Pre-prepared source tarball and binary packages will soon be available from
the xen.org website.

Cheers,
Keir (on behalf of the whole Xen dev team)

Hi Keir,

Nice to hear this information. I've downloaded the sources yesterday night
and compiled them. Hope I'm bleeding edge now :)

Just one question, where can we download the "documentation" for Xen 3.2?
i.e. documentation about how to configure the below mentioned new features,
etc.

Thanks,

Emre

Cool beans!

What are the odds of getting the next published SRPM's to include the 
same naming scheme and .spec file structure as RedHat uses, so that the 
RHEL 4 and RHEL 5 packages have different names? And so that the %post 
steps set up grub.conf the way it should be by default for Dom0 and DomU 
automagically with the new changes in grubby by RedHat to support this?

An official source tarball xen-3.2.0.tar.gz is now available from
  http://www.xen.org/download/

Also available there are binary packages for RHEL5/Centos5.1, Fedora 8
and OpenSUSE 10.3, which are all based mostly on the corresponding
distribution's binary packages.  However, they have only been lightly
tested: they are intended as a base for distributions to work with and
secondarily as a preview or interim version for users; we don't plan
to release security patches or updates for these versions.

Binary packages with full security support, suitable for full
long-term production use, should be made available soon by the
distribution vendors in the usual way.

Ian.
