A new RC of the Xen Hypervisor has just been announced by our release manager with this message on the xen-devel mailing list.
In addition to the usual repository tagging (xen-4.3.0-rc2), a tarball is available (and here’s its signature).
This happened right in time for the second Xen Test Day of the 4.3 release cycle, which will be held tomorrow (Wed, 22nd May), on the #xentest channel on freenode… So come and bring friends!
Find out Xen 4.3.0 RC2 specific testing information and indications on the Wiki page: Xen 4.3 RC2 test instructions. More information about Xen Test Days in general in this other one.
After tomorrow, there is another Test Day planned already for June 4th.
