by Sandro Bonazzola
The oVirt team is pleased to announce that the 3.5.0 First Release Candidate is now
available for testing as of Aug 5th 2014.
The release candidate is available now for Fedora 19, Fedora 20 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
(or similar) and allow you to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as node and run Hosted Engine.
Feel free to join us testing it on Tue Aug 12th third test day!
This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes.
See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed.
The existing repository ovirt-3.5-pre has been updated for delivering this
release without the need of enabling any other repository.
If you're already using ovirt repository on EL7, please update ovirt-release3.5 rpm,
it will provide additional repositories for it.
Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions.
New oVirt Live, oVirt Guest Tools and oVirt Node ISO will be available soon as well[2].
Please note that mirrors may need a couple of days before being synchronized.
If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors,
you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5.repo commenting the mirror line and
removing the comment on baseurl line.
Known issues in this RC:
- Bug 1124099 - Live Merge: Limit merge operations based on hosts' capabilities
- ovirt-optimizer has not been updated for EL6 due to dependencies issues
- vdsm for EL7 is missing a couple of patches compared to other distro due to building issues
