This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes.
See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed.

The existing repository ovirt-3.5-pre has been updated for delivering this
release without the need of enabling any other repository.
If you're already using ovirt repository on EL7, please update ovirt-release3.5 rpm,
it will provide additional repositories for it.

Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions.
New oVirt Live, oVirt Guest Tools and oVirt Node ISO will be available soon as well[2].

Please note that mirrors may need a couple of days before being synchronized.
If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors,
you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5.repo commenting the mirror line and
removing the comment on baseurl line.

Known issues in this RC:
- Bug 1124099 - Live Merge: Limit merge operations based on hosts' capabilities
- ovirt-optimizer has not been updated for EL6 due to dependencies issues
- vdsm for EL7 is missing a couple of patches compared to other distro due to building issues
