| OpenNebula 4.0 is the result of the terrific feedback of the day-to-day operation of virtualized infrastructures by many of you, result of all your contributions, bug reports, patches, and translations, but one and foremost, OpenNebula 4.0 is the realization of a vision of simplicity, openness, code-correctness and a sysadmin-centric approach. This defines our personality as a community, it defines the OpenNebula Way. Now the features that you've been waiting for.... | OpenNebula 4.0 is the result of the terrific feedback of the day-to-day operation of virtualized infrastructures by many of you, result of all your contributions, bug reports, patches, and translations, but one and foremost, OpenNebula 4.0 is the realization of a vision of simplicity, openness, code-correctness and a sysadmin-centric approach.

| OpenNebula 4.0 includes new features in most of its subsystems. We are showing for the first time a completely redesigned Sunstone, with a fresh and modern look and an updated workflow for most of the dialogs. A whole new set of operations for VMs like system and disk snapshoting, capacity re-sizing, programmable VM actions and IPv6 among others. There are some new drivers also, like Ceph; as well as minor improvements for VMware, KVM and Xen. The scheduler has received some attention from the OpenNebula team to easily define more placement policies... and much more (see below). | OpenNebula 4.0 includes new features in most of its subsystems.

| There are some last-minute features that will be probably added in the final release, but we are basically in feature-freeze, concentrated in smooth some rough edges here and there. Note that this is a beta release aimed at testers and developers to try the new features, and send a more than welcomed feedback for the final release. Although this is a major release we've done our best to keep compatibility with OpenNebula 3.8 so any application developed for previous versions should work without effort. We have changed the name of some of the operations over the VM (we have now 32 different management actions) so be sure to check the compatibility and upgrade guides. | There are some last-minute features that will be probably added in the final release, but we are basically in feature-freeze, concentrated in smooth some rough edges here and there.
