-November 18th, 2011. The OpenNebula project announces the general availability of the first pre-release of OpenNebula 3.2. With this release we make our debut with a new development cycle that aims at rapidly delivering new features to the community and faster react to their needs and feedback.+December 23th, 2011. Two days before Christmas the OpenNebula team was able to get all the green lights in the Christmas tree as well as in the Jenkins console. A good number of bug fixes has been packed with the OpenNebula 3.2 Release Candidate (RC). This release does not include any new features, but the team (the unlucky part of it) is working this Christmas to get in shape a couple of new additional components to the OpenNebula distribution...  
  
-The pre-release series are not suitable for production environments as you may find some rough edges. However the packages have gone through the standard testing procedure made for final releases so you should consider them stable.+Note that VMware drivers are not fully integrated yet in the release. Data Centers using vmware are advised not to update to this version.
  
-With this release we also wanted to celebrate our 4th birthday. Happy testing everybody! +Merry Christmas and cloudy new year!

- +  * **Improved Network Management**, The network operations are now coupled with the VM life-cycle. This simplifies the management of networking (no hooks are needed), and solves previous issues with VLANs when migrating and restoring VMs. The network drivers define three actions (pre-boot, post-boot and clean) that can be easily customized if needed. Default installation comes with 8021.Q, OpenvSwtich and ebtables VLAN drivers. Also the firewalling functionlity has been embedded in the new networking driver. 
 + 
 +  * **Flexible Network definition**. Networks can be now defined with an arbitrary range including an starting and ending IP, network and network mask or CIDR notation. It is possible also to define a network and a starting IP to lease addresses. 
 + 
 +  * **New Lease Operations**. Network leases can now be put on hold to reserve them. This comes in handy when there are some IPs within the VLAN already assigned (e.g. .1 to the gateway). When a lease is put on hold OpenNebula will not use it for a VM, til it is released.

 +The OCCI API has been extended to include:
 +  * **VM types**, can now be defined in the server configuration file and tagged with arbitrary information, like size, QoS parameters or price. These types can be programatically queried through the API.
 +  * **Network templates**, to support the new VLAN features in OpenNebula the OCCI networks can now be defined through a template, as for Virtual Machines.
