Half of our platforms are on 2.2.14 (advanced zone with security groups). These platform work well. We are looking for a way to upgrade to 4.* for more functionalities, so that we do not need to take the difference of cloudstack version into account in development.
As I know, the citrix guys are working on this. Jessica Wang said the feature will be merged into master branch soon.It looks the coding is almost done. I hope this feature could be included in 4.1, of course. However, we also need some days for testing and bug fix. It means cloudstack 4.1 will delay for uncertain days (it is very bad, right?). It is a difficult choice. I do not know how many companies are using 2.2.14 (advanced zone with security groups) and eager to upgrade. I will join the dev and testing if needed. 2013/5/15 Chip Childers <chip.child...@sungard.com> > Sebastian re-opened CLOUDSTACK-2463 due to users wanting to upgrade from > 2.x to 4.1.
