[ovirt-announce] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.7 Release is now available

[Lev Veyde]

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.1.7
release, as of November 7th, 2017

This update is the seventh in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1
series.
4.1.7 brings 16 enhancements and 99 bugfixes,
including 72 high or urgent severity fixes, on top of the previous oVirt
4.1 release.

Starting from 4.1.5 oVirt supports libgfapi [5]. Using libgfapi provides a
real performance boost for ovirt when using GlusterFS .
Due  to a known issue [6], using this will break live storage migration.
This is expected to be fixed soon. If you do not use live storage
migration you can give it a try. Use [7] for more details on how to  enable
it.

This release is available now for:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 or later
* CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 or later

This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 or later
* CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 or later

See the release notes draft [3] for installation / upgrade instructions and
a list of new features and bugs fixed.
