So is that shiny new kernel a pv_ops kernel or has the xen patches been
forward ported again. I've not tested both the xen kernel and the pv_ops but

A 0.1.1 release was posted on Jan 18, 2010 with the following additional features and fixes:

• Openvswitch
• Fault Tolerance
• XCP Console Documentation
• VNC Console Proxy and Web Front-End
• Standalone Front-End
• VM Lifecycle Queuing Deadlock Fixed
• Rare Post-Fork() Spinning XAPI Process Fixed
• Active Directory Authentication Fixes
• Memory Ballooning Fixes

"Fault Tolerance" in more detail what this means? (code fix or new feature)
The HA expected  functionality?
How is it possible for upgarde from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1?
