[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.5 General Availability Release is now available

[Lev Veyde]

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the General
Availability
Release of oVirt 4.1.5, as of August 22nd, 2017

This update is the fifth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1
series.
4.1.5 brings more than 20 enhancements and more than 90 bugfixes,
including more than 40 high or urgent
severity fixes, on top of oVirt 4.1 series

Starting 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.
