Folks,
We're pleased to announce the official release of xen 3.0.3!
This release includes many new features as well as enhanced
stability and performance. Some highlights include:
- a new easy-to-use CPU scheduler which includes weights, caps,
and automatic SMP load-balancing;
- support for Xen-oprofile to allow measurement and optimization
of code paths;
- greatly enhanced support for unmodified ("hvm") guests including
Windows and legacy Linux operating systems;
- support for dynamic-allocation and copy-on-write disks
("blktap/qcow");
- packet segmentation offload in guests to improve network
performance;
- enhanced support for IA64 (IPF) systems; and initial support for
Power.
You can download source and binary tarballs, RPMs, and a live 'demo' CD
from:

As always, you can also get the source using mercurial from:

Cheers,
Ian (on behalf of the whole Xen dev team)
