Folks,
We’re pleased to announce the official release of Xen 3.2.0!
This has been a while coming, and represents the culmination of a lot of work to improve architectural cleanliness ‘under the hood’, while also providing a range of new user-visible features including:
– Xen Security Modules (XSM)
– ACPI S3 suspend-to-RAM support for the host system
– Preliminary PCI pass-through support (using appropriate Intel or AMD I/O-virtualisation hardware)
– Preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully virtualised (HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 ‘real mode’.
– Faster emulation of standard (non-super) VGA modes for HVM guests
– Configurable timer modes for HVM guests, depending on how the guest OS manages time-keeping
– Many other changes and enhancements across all supported machine architectures
You can get the source using mercurial from: http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg
To extract your own source tarball:
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg
# cd xen-3.2-testing.hg
# hg archive -t tgz -r RELEASE-3.2.0 ../xen-3.2.0.tar.gz
Pre-prepared source tarball and binary packages will soon be available from the xen.org website.
Cheers,
Keir (on behalf of the whole Xen dev team)
