-OpenNebula 3.8 enhances the integration with VMware and KVM, which are the most widely used hypervisors in OpenNebula clouds, and with heterogeneous infrastructures using different hypervisors. Twin Jet features an improved storage VMware interface with native support for VMFS and integration with cgroups and SPICE on KVM deployments.

 Twin Jet also enhances the EC2 Query API server, which now provides a complete implementation of the Elastic Block Store (EBS) and keypairs, along with other minor enhancements to be more compliant with the Amazon EC2 specification. The OCCI cloud API now brings new actions and hotplugging functionality.

 An important effort has been made to synchronize the packaging format used by the OpenNebula project and those used by the Linux distributions. We hope that this will make even more easier to get and set OpenNebula up and running.
-There are also other new features already implemented and ready but not merged with master. These features will be available in the final release of OpenNebula 3.8. Note that this is a beta release aimed at testers and developers to try the new features.
+This is an stable release that incorporates several bug fixes since 3.8 beta. It is a recommended update for any site. Note that we have a new set of packages, so be sure to [[documentation:rel3.8:upgrade|take a look at the upgrade guide]] .
 As usual OpenNebula releases are named after a Nebula. The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_Nebula_M2-9|Twin Jet Nebula]] (Minkowski 2-9, abbreviated M2-9 ) is a planetary nebula that was discovered by Rudolph Minkowski in 1947. It is located about 2,100 light-years away from Earth.

 This release includes the following changes in OpenNebula core:
+  * **Improved VM life-cycle**, some VM transitions has been tuned to prevent from loosing VM states when a infrastructure related failure occurs. Now when a suspended/stopped/unknown VM fails to restart/resume it returns to its original state instead to retry the operation o manually delete the VM.
   * **Enhanced VMware support** through a new set of [[documentation:rel3.8:vmware_ds | Datastore and Transfer Manager (TM) drivers]]. These new drivers enable the implementation of multiple  storage solutions and brings native support for VMFS.

+====== Supported Platform Components ======
+Because OpenNebula is inherently portable to different operating systems and virtualization platforms, most Linux distributions and Hypervisors are supported. However, not all platform configurations and combinations exhibit a similar functionality, performance and stability. You can contact us if you need advise about the best platform configurations and environments for functionality and performance. Please read our [[http://opennebula.org/software:testing|Certification Policy]] for more information.
+======  Certified Platform Components ======
+This is the list of the individual platform components that have been through the complete OpenNebula Quality Assurance and Certification Process.
