Hi Sandro, does this mean that 4.0.3 was final, 2 days ago? I indeed noticed a strange subject in that e-mail [ANN] oVirt 4.0.3 Final Release Candidate is now available There were both "Final" and "Candidate" words ... and I was a bit confused... Also if this is true, any particular reason to have a new release candidate right 2 days after the previous final? Is it not too fast for users to stay ahead? Or do we need to consider "Release Candidate" phrase in a different way than usual? Only my opinion... Gianluca

Sorry, my copy / paste bad habit for announce emails... Yes, it was final.

4.0.3 has been a short cycle release to fix some urgent bugs / regression on top of 4.0.2. 4.0.4 will have probably a longer cycle and even if we just released 4.0.3 GA, having fixed more than 100 bugs comparing to 4.0.3 seemed a good idea to issue a RC allowing people afflicted by those bugs to have a fix to test as soon as possible.
