Folks, The Xen team are pleased to announce the release of Xen 2.0.6 ! This release includes support for Linux versions 2.6.11.10 and 2.4.30, NetBSD 2.0 and FreeBSD 5.3, along with many bug fixes. In particular: * a fix to a nasty VM relocation bug * several AGP/DRM fixes * block device performance fix * CDROM and floppy fixes * better hyperthreading support * misc tool hardening and improved default security We would recommend everyone to upgrade to 2.0.6 as soon as possible. You can download the install and source tar balls from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netos/xen/ and access the BK repository at http://xen.bkbits.net/xen-2.0.bk RPMs and a new demo CD will be available in due course. Early in June we will be releasing the 3.0-testing series, which is the first step toward the 3.0.0 release. There are a number of important architectural changes in the 3.0 development tree, and we''ll be creating the testing series as soon as 32 bit x86 (<4GB) support has the full feature superset of 2.0, with a good level of stability and enhanced performance (including SMP guest support). Other ports such as x86_64 and x86 >8GB support will not have the same level of maturity, but hopefully this will be achieved through extensive testing and continuing development over the coming weeks. Best, The Xen Team _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

There are a number of importantI''m working on cleaning up and testing a patch to implement the deferred sends (as discussed last Thursday off-list) and comparing that to one or two other patches that take a different approach. I should have some numbers and be able to post in a few days - Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope that''s not too late? I''d really like to address this in 3.0.. thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
I''ve created some debian packages of 2.0.6 which will do until some official ones appear (does anyone know where Adam is???), but I haven''t yet tested them. They were working on -testing about a week ago though so I don''t see there being a problem. http://meadowcourt.org/xen/ James> -----Original Message----- > From: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-devel- > bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Ian Pratt > Sent: Monday, 23 May 2005 02:55 > To: xen-devel; xen-users@lists.xensource.com; xen- > announce@lists.xensource.com > Subject: [Xen-devel] Xen 2.0.6 released! > > > Folks, > > The Xen team are pleased to announce the release of Xen 2.0.6 ! > > This release includes support for Linux versions 2.6.11.10 and 2.4.30, > NetBSD 2.0 and FreeBSD 5.3, along with many bug fixes.

Our domains routinely require 1-2GB of RAM so current 4GB limitation borders on a showstopper. Fantastic news if my interpretation is correct!

But you''re right, maybe a debian specific page on wiki.xensource.com would be appropiate? -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Lars E. D.

I''ll make time to look at them this week. But, note, that debian is approaching a release, so making packages of any newer xen that requires any newer kernel or other packages will be difficult. Unless of course xen has started shipping kernel patches directly, instead of sparse trees. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
For some reason, the web server that I''ve put them on (iis6) refuses to acknowledge the existence of any file ending in .deb and reports 404 even though the directory can be browsed. And like you I''ve been too swamped in work to find out why. The .gz files are accessible though so you could do a dpkg-buildpackage to make it happen.
