[Xen-users] ANNOUNCEMENT: Xen 4.6 RC2

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

Xen 4.6 RC2 has been tagged. You can check out the tag 4.6.0-rc2 in xen.git.

We notice that tarball build is broken so we don't provide RC2 tarball. RC1
tarball was broken, too. We will fix the tarball build problem for RC3.

When reporting bugs, please send your bug report to
xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, present as much information as possible,
tag it with "BUG-4.6" and CC release manager (wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx) and
relevant maintainers.

We also arrange a test day for RC2. It is on 2015 September 1, next
Tuesday.  See http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.6_RC2_test_instructions
for test instructions.
