[Xen-announce] Announcing Xen Project 4.9 RC1 and RC / Test Day Schedule



Dear community members, 

today we created Xen 4.9 RC1, which is available from 

 git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git 4.9.0-rc1.2

For your convenience there is also a tarball and signature at:
 
 
https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.9.0-rc1.2/xen-4.9.0-rc1.2.tar.gz 
 
 
https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.9.0-rc1.2/xen-4.9.0-rc1.2.tar.gz.sig

Please send bug reports and test reports to xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. 
When sending bug reports, please CC relevant maintainers and the release 
manager  (julien.grall@xxxxxxx).


== Subsequent RC's ==

We will release a new release candidate every week on Friday, until we declare 
a release candidate as the final candidate and cut the Xen 4.9 release. The 
projected dates for the next RC's will be

  Xen 4.8 RC2: April 21
  Xen 4.8 RC3: April 28
  Xen 4.8 RC4: May 5
  Xen 4.8 RC5: May 12

Release candidates are available from our git repository at

  git://xenbits.xenproject.org/xen.git (tag 4.9.0-<rc>)

where <rc> is rc1, rc2, rc3, etc. and as tarball from

  https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.9.0-<rc>/xen-4.9.0-<rc>.tar.gz 
  
https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.9.0-<rc>/xen-4.9.0-<rc>.tar.gz.sig
 

Detailed build and Install instructions can be found on the Test Day Wiki 
(https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.9_RC_test_instructions#Installing). 
Make sure you check the known issues section of the instructions 
(https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.9_RC_test_instructions#Known_issues) 
before trying to download an RC.

Note that RC’s are announced on the following mailing lists: 
  xen-announce
  xen-devel
  xen-users 

Make sure that you are subscribed to at least one of those lists.

== Test Day schedule ==

We will also hold a Test Day every TUESDAY for the release candidate that was 
released the week prior to the Test Day starting from RC2. 

This means we will have Test Days on 
  April 25th 
  May 2nd
  May 9th 
  May 16th

Your testing is still valuable on other days, so please feel free to send Test 
Reports as outlined below at any time.

== Testing new Features, Test and Bug Reports ==

You can find Test Instructions for new features on our Test Day Wiki 
(https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.9_RC_test_instructions) and 
instructions for general tests on Testing Xen 
(https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Testing_Xen). The following pages provide 
information on how to report successful tests 
(https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_4.9_RC_test_instructions#Reporting_success)
 and how to report bugs and issues
