* [[IntelliCache]]: enables you to use a combination of Shared storage and local storage caching. |
|||
* Local Storage Spans All Physical Volumes: When EXT local storage is used on a host containing multiple physical disks, the local Storage Repository (SR) now spans all the disks in a single LVM volume group. |
|||
* Reset-on-boot VM behaviour. Disks with the on-boot option set to reset, is now available for disks in any type of SR. (Previously it was only available for disks in NFS and EXT SRs.) |

XCP 1.1 has been released |
XCP Release Timeline
XCP 1.5 "Boston"
XCP 1.5 "Boston" is version-compatible with XenServer 6.0. It's the first XCP release to be based on Xen 4.1. We have some internal work to do both on our build system and xapi before we can release XCP 1.5, but after we complete this work it will be much easier for us to release stable versions of XCP along with XenServer stable releases. This means that after these changes, there won't be any more long delays between XCP stable releases and XenServer releases.
| Milestone |
| Beta |
| RC1 release |
