[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.1 First Release Candidate

[Andrea Ghelardi]

I somehow agree to this statement
While ovirt team is really doing an awesome job and ovirt is getting more and more polished at every release, a +100 critical bugfixes statement in a minor release tends to underline the flaws of 4.1.0 rather than the good things of 4.1.1

Considering that

A)      there could be no test environment to check the upgraded version behavior and

B)      the upgrade itself may require more than a bit of effort when there are dozen hosts and multiple clusters involved,
this does not really encourage to always push the datacenter to the latest version available, especially if the in-production version is not misbehaving.

Please note I'm just sharing our company view and not blaming anyone.

Cheers
Andrea

Hi,

Is 4.1.0 still recommneded an upgrade from 4.0.6 in production or should we wait for 4.1.1 to comee out?

100+ critical bugs fixed sounds good but doesnt really encourage upgrading to 4.1.0

thoughts?
