release candidates for 3.0.4 once or twice a week until we have a tree suitable for final release (hopefully by the middle of December). Meanwhile

Does this mean we have less than a month until the Xen API work is frozen, as was previously the plan for 3.0.4? We're still discussing aspects of it and AFAIK there's still a lot of work to do in just finishing defining it, never mind coding it or any "can I actually program against this" stuff.

No (sorry for the confusion). Xen 3.0.4 will contain a "preview" of the Xen-API (i.e. what we've got now) but this will not be the final version of the protocol or data-model, and will not be declared stable or supported. We will ensure that the 3.0.3 protocols are supported in 3.0.4, and will take the time during this freeze to make sure that backwards compatibility to 3.0.3-based clients is all in place.

Xen 3.0.4 _will_ contain a working version of "the lifecycle patches", that is, the xm new, start, shutdown, delete, suspend, and resume functionality.

Before 3.0.4 comes out, there are a couple of fixes we previously discussed on xen-api to ensure the lifecycle patches don't break semantics of the existing SEXPR / XMLRPC APIs.

Yes, we'll get those fixed for 3.0.4.

These are fixed now, and on their way through testing. Let me know if you have any more incompatibility issues with libvirt, and I'll get them fixed in time for the 3.0.4 freeze.

Thanks for getting those in so quickly - I'll do some testing with it today / tomorrow to make sure everything's now working as expected.

Regards, Dan.
