What is the definition of a 'major release'? What do you expect from it? In the beginning of the year, a new 4.5.7 release was pushed, with a lot of fixes and support for CentOS 10/Alma 10. Since then, a lot of changes/fixes were merged, and we plan to release a 4.5.8 in the coming months. A new 'major' release is also on the roadmap, and we are working on that. The main change for the major release will be a upgraded Wildfly, which we need to migrate the whole codebase away from javax -> jakarta. So from a feature perspective, this is nothing important, but it's very important to be able to keep oVirt as a whole compatible with newer Java (libs) and keep it up-to-date in the future. Your question about the hosted engine: Since 4.5.7, the hosted engine template is rewritten, and we build Alma 9 & 10 and CentOS 9 & 10 as the base for hosted-engine VM. So you can choose which OS you use for your hosted-engine. 'oVirt Node NG' is deprecated, and won't likely see new releases anymore. The whole system that created those ISO's is out-of-date, and would need a lot of changes to get it working again + to support CentOS 10/Alma 10. And as there is almost no advantage on those 'oVirt Node NG' ISO's above a basic CentOS or Alma install, we decided to deprecate the whole thing. Hope this answers all your questions :) Jean-Louis On 4/06/2026 21:50, Diggy Mc wrote:
Is there an ETA for the next major release of oVirt? Has it entered beta testing yet? Any hint as to what OS and version will be used for the hosted-engine? Will there be Node ISOs released? Just wondering so I can plan ahead. We are planning on deploying a brand new infrastructure and then phase out our legacy infrastructure. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/KP5FDANTAYUSVK...
