Hi all
I'm pleased to announce that Xen 4.6 is released. As release manager I
would like to thank everyone who involved in the making of 4.6 release
(either in the form of patch, bug report or packaging effort). This
release wouldn't have happened without all your contributions.
You can check out 4.6 release from xen.git with the tag "RELEASE-4.6.0".
Tarball can be obtained from:
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.6.0/xen-4.6.0.tar.gz
Signature for tarball:
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.6.0/xen-4.6.0.tar.gz.sig
Note that this is xen-devel@ only announcement. Official release
announcement on xen-announce@, press release, blog post and various
other docs / web pages will be available next week on October 13. The
official download link may also be different from the one provided
above.
Wei.

Wei and Ian,
Could we merge these following commits into xen-4.6.1?
commit 83215fba3a80c30b5191a4a1086dc510cca43069
libxl: introduce libxl__is_igd_vga_passthru
commit 488508b49a65dda20cf6eb6d8f549e8d758e610f
libxl: introduce gfx_passthru_kind
Currently they're already in staging branch.
I know we're going to sync qemu-upstream into qemu-xen in xen 4.7 to
support IGD passthrough with qemu-xen. But actually only these two
commits can make sure xen-4.6.x work out IGD passthrough with
qemu-upstream, instead of qemu-xen. I mean we can set something like this,
device_model_version="qemu-xen"
device_model_override="/<path to qemu-upstream>/qemu-system-i386"
Thanks
Tiejun

Please don't hijack other threads for backport requests, and please
see ./MAINTAINERS of the respective branch for who to send such
to.

All of this sounds more like a feature than a bug fix, which normally
we wouldn't put into stable releases. Occasionally we make
exceptions in x.y.1 releases, but I don't see this justified here so
far.

I wanted to explain why hijacking threads is bad practice. In this
example, you would normally start a new mail along the lines of "Please
backport XYZ to ABC" and if somebody needed to check why a specific bug
fix was back ported in for example 2 yeaqrs, such a mail will be easier to
find. Also of course there is the risk that the right people won't read
your mail if you hijack a thread.
Regards
Lars
