Dear Community Members,
Xen.org is happy to announce that XCP 1.6 Beta is available! The
release is available from the
download
page and a feature list is available in the
release
notes.
This release supersedes the XCP 1.5 beta release. In order to be
able to release new XCP versions more efficiently, the XCP team
concentrate their efforts on fixing the XCP internal build system
issues. We recommend that XCP 1.5 beta users upgrade to XCP 1.6
beta and final when it is released.
XCP User Survey
We are also asking XCP users to contribute to our usage
survey, which can be completed from the
download
page or
here.
We want to know more about how and why people use XCP, so that we
can continue to make it better. You do not have to take the
survey, but we highly encourage everyone to participate.
Test Day, October 9th
Because of the great feedback we got from the Xen 4.2 Test Day a
month ago, we scheduled a
Test Day for
XCP (also see
XCP
1.6 test instructions). If you find any issues with XCP 1.6
beta, please report them on the
xen-api
mailing list with the subject line containing
[XCP-1.6-BETA].
XCP 1.6 Release Schedule
The release schedule for XCP 1.6 is as follows:
- XCP 1.6 Beta release: 1 October
- XCP 1.6 Beta test day: 9 October
- XCP 1.6 Final release: 24 October
Unless critical bugs are found that cannot be fixed in time for
October 24th, we will release XCP 1.6 on October 24th.
Best Regards
Lars Kurth
