Re: [Users] Announcement: oVirt 3.3.0 release!

by Steve Dainard

Awesome. Dave can you have someone edit the installation page and specifically mention that EL hypervisors don't have native Gluster (fuse only) support - It would be very frustrating to think you can have all the features, and OS stability as well, only to find out EL doesn't support a key feature. I've seen lots of requests on the board for a back-port so this might preempt more questions / problems. *Steve * * * On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 8:31 AM, Dave Neary <dneary(a)redhat.com> wrote: > > The oVirt development team is very happy to announce the general > availability of oVirt 3.3.0 as of September 16th 2013.

oVirt Node 3.0.1 Release

by Fabian Deutsch

Hey, oVirt Node 3.0.1 has been released [0] and can be downloaded [1]. 3.0.1 is the first bug fix release after the major 3.0.0 release. You might notice that there was no release email for the 3.0.0 release, so let us shed some light on that release. What changed? ovirt-node-3.0.0 was a major release which brought some major changes. One important change is, that Node is now an "universal image" [2]. The base Node images (for Fedora 19 and EL6) do _not_ contain any specific VDSM bits anymore and can _not_ be used directly with oVirt Engine. The VDSM specific parts got extracted and can be found in the ovirt-node-plugin-vdsm [3][4]. For convenience we plan to provide additional images containing the VDSM plugin which will make the images ready to use with oVirt Engine. For this release we need to delay the release of the VDSM images due to some last-minute bugs. There are also many more new features in 3.0 [0][5]: * Universal Image - Remove VDSM specific bits to make the image more general (an VDSM image is still provided) * Improved upgrade tool * Software iSCSI root * Puppet configuration management (plugin) * Bridegeless Networking * NIC Bonds * New installer TUI * IPv6 support in the setup TUI * Diagnostics page in the setup TUI * Images for Fedora 19 and EL6 Let us know [6][7] if you found an issue, miss something which should be part of Node or would like to use Node in your project. Thanks The oVirt Node Team --- [0] http://www.ovirt.org/Node_Release_Notes#3.0.1_Release_Notes [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Node#Current_Release [2] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Universal_Image [3] http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/node-base/3.0.0/rpm/Fedora/19/noarch/...

If you picked up beta packages prior to Thursday at approximately 11 AM EDT (15:00 UTC), there is a new ovirt-engine package that fixes a single security issue [1][2]. Thanks The oVirt Team [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007482 [2] A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in oVirt Engine An attacker could construct a carefully-crafted URL, which once visited by an unsuspecting user, could cause the user's web browser to execute malicious script in the context the of oVirt Engine domain. (CVE-2013-4181)
