Folks, Lots of new features have been flying into the xen-unstable tree in the past few weeks. These include: support for x86 PAE PV guests running on 64-bit hypervisor, save/restore of HVM (fully virtualised) guests, and upgrade to Linux 2.6.18. Inevitably all this new code will have introduced new bugs, and now seems a good time to refocus on assessing the state of the tree and work on cleanups and bug fixes. Remaining large features which may be considered in the near future include hardware-assisted paging for HVM guests (AMD NPT / Intel EPT), support for mixed-mode PV guests (Gerd''s domain builder patches) and a few other odds and ends sitting in my todo queue (extendable grant tables, TCG BIOS extensions, RCU, some x86_emulate changes). Apart from these items (which are all fairly mature patches at this point) we are declaring *feature freeze* for the next while, to improve stability and interfaces in the run-up to 3.0.5.

And that includes save/restore format. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hopefully live migration will be ready in time too. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
