oVirt 4.1.9 will be the last 4.1 release
by Sandro Bonazzola 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi, we are now targeting oVirt 4.2.0 GA around December 12th and oVirt 4.1.8 around December 5th. Against tradition that would have set 4.1.8 as last 4.1 release, this round we'll release also oVIrt 4.1.9 being it already in development just before 4.2.0 GA. We suggest to be prepared to upgrade to 4.2 since 4.1 won't receive any further update after 4.1.9 release. -- SANDRO BONAZZOLA ASSOCIATE MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA ENG VIRTUALIZATION R&D Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> <https://red.ht/sig> TRIED.

Unfortunately shortly after the oVirt 4.1.7 release we discovered a critical issue with ovirt-node-ng. The issue was promptly handled, and fixed packages were pushed into the repo. Also the ovirt-node-ng-installer ISO was rebuilt. Please make sure to update your repo and use the fixed ovirt-node-ng-installer ISO: http://plain.resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer-… -- Lev Veyde Software Engineer, RHCE | RHCVA | MCITP Red Hat Israel <https://www.redhat.com> lev(a)redhat.com | lveyde(a)redhat.com <https://red.ht/sig> TRIED.
