Xen Orchestra new design

olivier

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 /v5 at the end of the current URLs (the "old" will be accessible by default). For sources users, it will be necessary to switch from stable to a specific branch (v5 probably).

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!

olivier

The "base" of this new xo-web is 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"

olivier

Almost there!

@olivier Looking awesome.

Adding greenkeeper is really going to help enhance the project.

olivier

@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?

olivier

@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.

Congrats, @olivier!

The new performance charts are bad ass. Way easier to understand.

scottalanmiller

Congrats, can't wait to get a chance to play with it.

@DustinB3403

So you set git checkout to .... v5?

olivier

It's merged in stable.

Ah, ok thanks!

I figured you had enough on your plate today which is why I didn't tag you!

olivier

Yeah, by luck tomorrow I could rest. Or not, I'm 200km away to make a XenServer 7 upgrade for a (special) customer. Sunday I'll start to sleep for a week or two

BRRABill

Installed here.

Sweet.

Sadly I think I've found a bug, on the individual VM tabs, going back and forth seems to eventually get stuck. A full page refresh brings it back to functional.
