Next release (4.11) will be awesome!
- Incremental backup
- Cloud Init support
- SMB remote for backup (only NFS until now)
- Improved search bar
- XMPP alert plugin
- A lot of small but useful things
- And a far better support of older XS version (6.1 and 6.2)
- ~40 issues closed
Hope to deliver this Monday or Tuesday at worst
Awesome. Incremental backups are the big item here for sure. XMPP is big for me, but not likely too many people. That's a very cool feature.

@scottalanmiller XMPP feature story is nice: I did a XenServer training session to a customer, and he told me he would love to have this feature? It sounded fun for one of our dev, so he did it pretty quick (2 days later). That's indeed fun to have XO telling you the backup job finished correctly

We used to do something similar with StatusNET. We'd have servers have a little script that they could use to post to the StatusNET system. So anytime that they did a scheduled task like update or reboot, they would post a friendly status saying "I am updating now" or "Backups just completed" or "I'm going down for reboot, make sure I respond upon return."

So I got the email today that 4.11 was released. I cloned the container and pulled from the git repos. Everything went fairly well, except for getting an error that node_modules couldn't be found. It was looking for that folder in /usr/local/lib/node_modules when they're installed in the actual xo-server and xo-web folders. I copied the node_modules folder to that location, but the old server wasn't set up that way either. Not sure where the error is but it's working for now.
I have the new Delta Backup feature, however NFS is still the only option under remote stores so I'm not sure if that's from the node_modules folder issue or if it's something else.
Anyway, it's up and running!

Sweet, that's awesome!

@johnhooks We got some delay on the SMB feature, but it will be out for the 4.12
Anyway, the blog post about the 4.11: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-4-11/

SMB... pshaw. That's for "Windows users."
-
@scottalanmiller The thing is we don't want to use a system dependency (ie Debian package), but use a SMB lib directly to write on the share. And the lib we are using is pretty messy, we made a fork and continue to improve it.

Although handy if you want to use your windows desktop as a backup/staging location for cloud backups. Although someone mentioned a script to backup to Amazon... may look into that.

@coliver We can implement a "remote" of Amazon type, that shouldn't be a problem!
