The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Second

Release Candidate of oVirt 4.1.7, as of September 28th, 2017

This update is the seventh in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1

series.

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 7.4 or later

* CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 or later

This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running:

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 or later

* CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 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.
