The next release of XenCenter has been made to understand XCP version
numbers. XenServer has both a product_version and platform_version
number, whereas XCP just has a platform_version number. All new releases
of XenServer and XCP will have a common platform_version between them.

There is no public link because this was an internal project to rework
our internal build system. The basic idea is that our build system
creates both a XenServer and XCP build from the same set of sources,
which means that we no longer have to delay an XCP release after
XenServer releases (no more 6 month beta periods, etc.).
