RE: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.5 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

James;

That's brilliant news, thanks for sorting that.  I wonder if this might
help with the tap:qcow issue too. I'll test both items as soon as you
release.  Good work - you are fast!

They are on separate 'controllers', so there is no resulting confusing.

I have actually just fixed the formatting issue. It was related to
windows giving us buffers that were not aligned to a 512 byte boundary,
which the vbd backend driver won't accept. My workaround involves a huge
hit in performance and also had a nasty bug in it and that was causing
the format issue.

Not yet checked into hg so you'll have to wait a bit. If I don't get the
other bug resolved to be able to do a binary release, I'll at least
check in the format fix to hg.
