Hi,
Now that 0.11.0 is behind us, it's time to start thinking about 0.12.0.
I'd like to do a few things different this time around. I don't
think the -rc process went very well as I don't think we got more
testing out of it. I'd like to shorten the timeline for 0.12.0 a
good bit. The 0.10 stable tree got pretty difficult to maintain
toward the end of the cycle. We also had a pretty huge amount of
change between 0.10 and 0.11 so I think a shorter cycle is warranted.
I think aiming for early to mid-December would give us roughly a 3
month cycle and would align well with some of the Linux distribution
cycles. I'd like to limit things to a single -rc that lasted only
for about a week. This is enough time to fix most of the obvious
issues I think.
I'd also like to try to enumerate some features for this release.
Here's a short list of things I expect to see for this release
(target-i386 centric). Please add or comment on items that you'd
either like to see in the release or are planning on working on.
o VMState conversion -- I expect most of the pc target to be completed
o qdev conversion -- I hope that we'll get most of the pc target
completely converted to qdev
o storage live migration
o switch to SeaBIOS (need to finish porting features from Bochs)
o switch to gPXE (need to resolve slirp tftp server issue)
o KSM integration
o in-kernel APIC support for KVM
o guest SMP support for KVM
o updates to the default pc machine type
Machine monitor protocol.
If we're going to support the protocol for 0.12, I'd like to most of the
code merged by the end of October.
