The version released with Xen 3.0.4 was more like 0.4 than 0.9.  There
have been a very large number of changes since then.  Version 1.0 will
be released with Xen 3.0.5.  This won't be the final version -- we will
continue to add new facilities to the API with each new release.
However, we will guarantee that Xen-API 1.0 will be supported by later versions
of Xen.

There are no .NET bindings for the API at the moment.  We have bindings
for C and Python, and so you will have a whole lot less work to do if
you use one of those languages.  Python is by far the easiest to use,
especially if you are prototyping.

You'd be a lot better off using xen-unstable at this point (or waiting
for Xen 3.0.5 if you'd prefer).  To enable the server on unstable, look
in xend-config.sxp -- there is a large comment about the new
xen-api-server configuration entry, which is the one you want.

Cheers,

Ewan.
