Xen Orchestra new design
-
Assisted search filters for pools/hosts/tags are now working. Now on adding a switch on the home view to have also hosts.
-
Home view can now display hosts too. ISO can be mounted in console, Ctrl+Alt+Del is also working.
Full VM creation will land tomorrow, so we'll cover 80% of previous features. That's where we'll merge in
next-release. Keep in mind that was a technical rework first (speed/architecture), we'll do a UI sweep probably for a 5.1 -

Copy/paste in console is also now working

- New heatmap: ✓
- VM's VDI stuff (attach, add, boot order with drag and drop): ✓
- Health view with sorted/filtered table (very useful): ✓
VM creation is not yet ready, we made a massive change (less stuff in the web side and more in the server).
You could play with it on
v5.x, knowing those limitations.Planned for next week:
- finishing/validating VM creation
- network creation on Pool level
- major UI improvement for backup restore
- major UI improvement for users/groups/ACLs
- compare stats
- search improvement (save search, configure default search)
- UI sweep on some views (especially the wizard component)
This will lead us to a large scale beta release (also in XOA), and probably shortly after to a "final" release itself. QA work will be important, especially on ACLs side, which is critical before an official release.
Then, we could work on the UI directly, for the 5.1 ie:
- adding more dataviz
- improve current UI (CSS animation, avoid some non-finished/"ugly")
This would be a long process because the difference with a "rough" UI and a polished (details, transitions, animations) could cost a lot of work.

Take a look on the "pulse" on GitHub: https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web/pulse/monthly
That's serious work!

Okay guys: we'll release Friday. For XOA users, they could access it via adding
/v5at the end of the current URLs (the "old" will be accessible by default). For sources users, it will be necessary to switch fromstableto a specific branch (v5probably).This way, we could have feedback and not break stuff. Also people could compare and push feedback before we remove the "old" 4.x branch.

Awesome! can't wait to see it in action!
-
The "base" of this new
xo-webis cleaner and well technically designed (main goal of 5.0). So, in theory, 5.1 will be mainly about UI improvements per se.I prefer to release now than waiting 1 more month to have something "better"
-
Almost there!

@olivier Looking awesome.
Adding greenkeeper is really going to help enhance the project.
-
@DustinB3403 Greenkeeper is running on all our repo since a month now

But you're adding it to the server now from your change log, unless I miss understand you.
This way you get the information from everyone, not just people running the dev version.
Correct?
-
@DustinB3403 The changelog is just telling we "fixed" this issue since the last release. It doesn't mean it was not done 1 month ago. Greenkeeper is monitoring all the GH XO repo since then.
-
It's out guys. To be fair, I'm far from being satisfied, but we had to release it. You can be sure that we'll make a lot of small releases in the next 2 weeks.

The new performance charts are bad ass. Way easier to understand.
-
Congrats, can't wait to get a chance to play with it.
-
So you set git checkout to .... v5?
-
It's merged in
stable.
