This Alpha release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes.
See the release notes [1] for an initial list of the new features and bugs fixed.
Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions.
A new oVirt Live ISO and Node ISO will be available soon[2].

New subject: Possible documentation fixes - advice needed
Hi all-
I am new to this, so please bear with me. I was researching oVirt, looking for information
on "developer guidelines," and I found some, but they weren't all connected
or linked iin from the same page.
I think I can fix that (and I've been given wiki permissions), but I want to make sure
I'm not doing something really stupid before I do.
What I think should happen is that this page:
http://www.ovirt.org/Backend_Coding_Standards
should have links to the following pages on it:
* http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_Coding_Guidelines
* http://www.ovirt.org/Infra_Bash_style_guide
* http://www.ovirt.org/Community_guidelines#Code_submission_guidelines
* http://www.ovirt.org/Building_oVirt_Engine/IDE --> see section about engine and
Checkstyle: "Make sure that you import the engine code formatter into eclipse before
starting development. The engine maven build uses checkstyle to check coding standards.
One of the standards checked is that the code should not contain tabs or trailing
whitespaces. Since eclipse inserts tabs by default for code formatting, you can end up
with a lot of compilation errors in command line maven build if you don't follow this
(and the next) step."
And this page: http://www.ovirt.org/DevProcess should have a link to
http://www.ovirt.org/Backend_Coding_Standards on it
If I don't hear from anyone, I'll make these changes on Friday. If I have it
wrong, tell me so and I won't make the changes.
Thanks!

From my point of view, looks good, the wiki is there to document the
project and to be updated as soon someone finds the need of improvement.
Specially, if this change will help others. I would say: fell free to
improve adding links to related topic, if someone believes it could be
in better shape, they can always improve based on your last
improvements. Without mention that wiki have the history recorded to
easily recover.
Have fun!

+1. Have at it.
We're sorely lacking in "I'm new here! How can I help?" type
documentation.
I've wanted to create a "Getting Started" type sequence for a while. Having
mentored two people up on the project, I had to do a lot of talking and not
enough pointing to documents.
