Folks, We're pleased to announce the official release of Xen 3.3.0! This is a major new release with a host of new features including: - Power management (P & C states) in the hypervisor - HVM emulation domains ('qemu-on-minios') for better scalability, performance and security - PVGrub: boot PV kernels using real GRUB inside the PV domain - Better PV performance: domain lock removed from pagetable-update paths - Shadow3: optimisations to make this the best shadow pagetable algorithm yet, making HVM performance better than ever - Hardware Assisted Paging enhancements: 2MB page support for better TLB locality - CPUID feature levelling: allows safe domain migration across systems with different CPU models. - PVSCSI drivers for SCSI access direct into PV guests - HVM framebuffer optimisations: scan for framebuffer updates more efficiently - Device passthrough enhancements - Full x86 real-mode emulation for HVM guests on Intel VT: supports a much wider range of legacy guest OSes - New qemu merge with upstream development - Many other changes in both x86 and IA64 ports You can get the source using mercurial from: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.3-testing.hg A pre-prepared source tarball is available from: http://www.xen.org/download/ (please ignore the 'Xen 3.2' graphic used in the download listing :-).
