Xen 3.1 released!

Xen 3.1 released!

[Keir Fraser]

Folks, 

We're pleased to announce the official release of Xen 3.1!

This represents a major milestone in the Xen project containing performance
and stability enhancements, additional features for all architectures, and a
brand new management API. Highlights of this release include:

 - XenAPI 1.0 support
    - XML configuration files for virtual machines;
    - VM life-cycle management operations; and
    - Secure on- or off-box XML-RPC with bindings for many languages
 - Preliminary save/restore/migrate support for HVM (e.g. Windows) VMs;
 - Dynamic memory control for HVM guests;
 - 32-on-64 PV guest support (run PAE PV VMs on a 64-bit Xen!); and
 - Blktap copy-on-write disk support.

You can get the source using mercurial from:
  http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.1-testing.hg

Source and binary tarballs, and RPMs, are available from:
  http://www.xensource.com/download/index_oss.html

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

Congratulations!
(I removed xen-announce from the CC as I figured that's not really the
place for this email [and it's probably moderated :)] )

I realise that releases are relatively rare, and this one is somewhat
special (with the version numbering change), so the process has some
rough edges.

I'd like to make the following observations.
 * Many of the logos on the Xensource site still include the "3.0"
   branding eg.
   http://www.xensource.com/images/products/xen_30_r_logo.gif
 * It's be nice if there was a download tarball link from:
   http://www.xensource.com/download/index_oss.html
   Sure there iare "Mercurial Repository" and "Source Browser" links but
   they're not really the same.  Is it really a requirement to use
   Mercurial to get the code?
 * The Mercurial Repository doesn't contain a tag "3.1.0" or
   "3.1.0-final", and the Mercurial Repository is still called
   3.1-testing.  This makes it a little non-obvious and also if you're
   pointing people at a download page for the latest and greatest it
   doesn't create a sense of confidence :)

It'd be nice to add this little bit of polish if possible.

Yours Tony

Xen 3.1 announces some new features. Where do I obtain its manual for Xen 3.
1? I visited Xen WIKI including the general version of Xem 3.0 manual.

Any chance of getting the -rc10 tag removed from xen/Makefile? Thanks, Jan

It's fixed in the staging tree, just hasn't been pushed to the public tree
yet. We'll force it through manually in a while...
