Dear all,
I want to give my support to the new developer team, since the job
done is fantastic.
We upgraded all our out to date releases to 4.5.7 and the platform is
still rock solid, we rely on ovirt for our production environment and
up until now we do not regret the decision.
Things changed since redhat abadoned the project, but this does not
mean we have to run away from ovirt.
Adopt ovirt, you won't regret it.
Regards,
Andrea

What is the definition of a 'major release'? What do you expect
from it?
In the beginning of the year, a new 4.5.7 release was pushed, with
a lot of fixes and support for CentOS 10/Alma 10.
Since then, a lot of changes/fixes were merged, and we plan to
release a 4.5.8 in the coming months.
A new 'major' release is also on the roadmap, and we are working
on that.
The main change for the major release will be a upgraded Wildfly,
which we need to migrate the whole codebase away from javax ->
jakarta.
So from a feature perspective, this is nothing important, but it's
very important to be able to keep oVirt as a whole compatible with
newer Java (libs) and keep it up-to-date in the future.
Your question about the hosted engine:
Since 4.5.7, the hosted engine template is rewritten, and we build
Alma 9 & 10 and CentOS 9 & 10 as the base for hosted-engine VM.
So you can choose which OS you use for your hosted-engine.
'oVirt Node NG' is deprecated, and won't likely see new releases
anymore.
The whole system that created those ISO's is out-of-date, and
would need a lot of changes to get it working again + to support
CentOS 10/Alma 10.
And as there is almost no advantage on those 'oVirt Node NG' ISO's
above a basic CentOS or Alma install, we decided to deprecate the
whole thing.
Hope this answers all your questions :)

Is there an ETA for the next major release of oVirt? Has it
entered beta testing yet? Any hint as to what OS and version
will be used for the hosted-engine? Will there be Node ISOs
released? Just wondering so I can plan ahead. We are
planning on deploying a brand new infrastructure and then
phase out our legacy infrastructure.
