* Work has begun on Fedora 11 virtualization [[Documentation_Virtualization_Beat|release notes]].
* The 0.6.0 release of {{package|libvirt}} was not completely without problems.
* All Fedora 11 virtualization features can be found [[:Category:F11_Virt_Features|all together]].
* The <code>KVM</code>/<code>QEmu</code> merge project has settled on a naming scheme.
* <code>KVM</code> PCI device assignment continues to have issues. The "core of the problem is that devices must be reset before being assigned if they have been previously used in the host."
* The addition of <code>bzImage</code> loading support to the <code>Xen</code> hypervisor is enabling users to build test Dom0 kernels.
* A detailed of accounting reveals the bug count going from 191 to 192.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
