From a cloudstack perspective, we do have plenty of other features that only work with specific hypervisors, but we’ve never explicitly listed these shortcomings in press releases (obviously the documentation will have to list, but dotn see why we’ve donw it at “headline” level) Kind regards Giles [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> @shapeblue From: Andrija Panic <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 11 May 2020 09:36 To: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Help with CloudStack 4.14 press release Hi Sally, apologies for not replying sooner - we have to cut another RC release, so we are going to be ready in a few days from today, at the best.
