Hi!

Xen 3.2.0 final release is available.

The official announcement:
=2D--------------------------------------------------
=46olks,

We're pleased to announce the official release of Xen 3.2.0!

This has been a while coming, and represents the culmination of a lot of
work to improve architectural cleanliness 'under the hood', while also
providing a range of new user-visible features including:

=A0 - Xen Security Modules (XSM)
=A0 - ACPI S3 suspend-to-RAM support for the host system
=A0 - Preliminary PCI pass-through support (using appropriate Intel or AMD
I/O-virtualisation hardware)
=A0 - Preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully=20
virtualised
(HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 'real mode'.
=A0 - Faster emulation of standard (non-super) VGA modes for HVM guests
=A0 - Configurable timer modes for HVM guests, depending on how the guest OS
manages time-keeping
=A0 - Many other changes and enhancements across all supported machine
architectures

You can get the source using mercurial from:
=A0 =A0http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg

To extract your own source tarball:
=A0 =A0# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.2-testing.hg
=A0 =A0# cd xen-3.2-testing.hg
=A0 =A0# hg archive -t tgz -r RELEASE-3.2.0 ../xen-3.2.0.tar.gz

Pre-prepared source tarball and binary packages will soon be available from
the xen.org website.
