31 Aug '17

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Second Release Candidate of oVirt 4.1.6 for testing, as of August 31th, 2017. Starting from 4.1.5 oVirt supports libgfapi [5]. Using libgfapi provides a real performance boost for ovirt when using GlusterFS . Due to a known issue [6], using this will break live storage migration. This is expected to be fixed soon. If you do not use live storage migration you can give it a try. Use [7] for more details on how to enable it. This release is available now for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.3 or later This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.3 or later * oVirt Node 4.1 See the release notes draft [3] for installation / upgrade instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

Hi Michal, Take a look at i.e. http://plain.resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1/rpm/el7/noarch/ There are multiple versions of packages there. Please note that yum by default will hide all but the most recent version.

Hi Michal, Actually you can manually install the packages from earlier (sub-)versions since these are still in the repo, however I don't really see the reason to do so. Once the new stable version is released it's recommended to install that version. Do you think it can be usable to actually maintain separate repos for each sub-versions that we release? E.g. 4.1.1, 4.1.2, etc. etc. ? If so, for which practical use ?
