Xen 3.2.0 Released, With New Features

It went under our radar due to the KDE 4.0 release event, but this week XenSource had released Xen 3.2.0. This is the first official Xen virtualization release in the 3.2 branch, which arrives with a number of new features. Among the mentioned end-user features are Xen Security Modules, ACPI S3 suspend-to-RAM for the host system, support for more boot-loaders in fully virtualized guests, faster emulation of standard VGA modes for HVM guests, and configurable timer modes for HVM guests (in some situations). In addition, Xen 3.2.0 introduces other changes for all supported machine architectures and improved "architectural cleanliness" for this virtualization environment. More information and source download links are available from the XenSource announcement.
