We know that at this time of the past years, the beta version of the new ovirt version has been released, but this year there is still no news about ovirt 4.5. Red Hat has announced last year that ovirt and openstack will be integrated with openshift in the future. So, will there be ovirt 4.5 or ovirt 4.6? Is it worth building a new virtualization platform based on ovirt?

The article you cited, https://www.openshift.com/blog/blog-openshift-virtualization-whats-new-with-virtualization-from-red-hat

describes the plans for Red Hat Virtualization product and its path going forward toward OpenShift Virtualization product.

As a product, Red Hat Virtualization has a different lifecycle than oVirt which is a community project.

Regarding the oVirt project, back on the beginning of oVirt 4.4 we switched the development model by introducing new non-substantial features directly within 4.4 maintenance releases.

So, right now we're missing substantial features to be planned to justify a new 4.5 version.

You're welcome to join and contribute to help shaping the project's roadmap.

About your second question, it depends on what your use case is. oVirt is still providing the enterprise scale virtualization platform solution it is known for and currently there's no change in the Red Hat's support of the oVirt project.
