[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.8 Second Release Candidate is now available

[Lev Veyde]

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Second Release
Candidate of oVirt 4.1.8, as of November 23rd, 2017

This update is the eighth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1
series.

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
* oVirt Node 4.1

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