by Rafael Martins 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi, In order to give time to fix some last minute blockers, the GA is pushed to Monday, June 20. This should provide sufficient time for us to properly fix and test oVirt 4.0, in order to make sure we have no critical issues in the 4.0.0 version, that was originally scheduled for today. Thanks in advance, Rafael Martins

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce today the general availability of oVirt 3.6.6. This latest community release includes new features and bug fixes for - oVirt Engine - oVirt Engine Appliance - oVirt Engine DWH - oVirt Engine Extension AAA JDBC - oVirt Engine Extension AAA LDAP - oVirt Hosted Enging HA - oVirt Hosted Engine Setup - oVirt VMConsole - VDSM - VDSM JsonRPC Java oVirt is an open-source, openly-governed enterprise virtualization management application, developed by a global community. You can use the oVirt management interface (oVirt Engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running in your data center. If you are familiar with VMware products, oVirt is conceptually similar to vSphere. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat's Enterprise Virtualization product, and it is the "upstream" project where new features are developed prior to their inclusion in Red Hat's supported product offering. Notes: * A new oVirt Live ISO, oVirt Engine Appliance and oVirt Node Next Install ISO will be available soon * Mirrors might need up to one day to synchronize.
