But people on this thread were talking about version 5, so isn't that what next-release got them? How else would they have gotten it?

No. v5.x is the new interface that they have been implementing over the past few months. Next-release is still based on the older 4.x interface.

does it matter what directory/path am in when running the command?

@Danp

Didn't like the version 5, switching back
too much tabs, didn't like it

I feel like he should have kept mostly the version 4 structure but add the good stats/monitoring in 5 to 4 and also a few more stuffs
the whole from scratch thing doesn't look too good TO ME at least

BRRABill

@xogurunoob said

If i want to test out the latest version 5 for xo-web
can i just do git checkout v5.x and then run your update script?

Ahhhhh....I missed this.

Linux NOOB!

I'm sure it will take some adjustment, but you'll eventually like it.

@xogurunoob I like constructive feedback: what do you mean by that?

Are you sure you need to go to some tabs each time you see a VM? I mean the "General" thing should be enough in 80% of the time.

Also, it was more a technical from scratch thing for now (as you can see in the recent perf tests here). We also built a lot of internal components, which will help to really modify the interface quickly after.

Its more of a UI thing for me
I like the UI of the v4 one compared to the v5(as of now)

I mean i think speed wise it is faster and i like the more detail graphs for monitoring, but i need to click many tabs to see things. Overall the UI can be made better.

Will be great if some great UI guys can help you with that, am not a UI person but i can tell if UI is good or not as a user pretty quickly

olivier

What I said is to hear precise reasons: eg "too many clicks to do this or that."

Everyone has various tastes, personal opinions are less interesting than facts

Alex Sage

@olivier did you take a look at the Vultr interface? Will the new interface be mobile responsive?

olivier

@aaronstuder We had checked multiples interfaces yes.

And yes, the new one will be also responsive (it's mainly already the case in the current state of 5.0)

i will come with more specifics soon

olivier

@xogurunoob Thanks but don't forget the UI is far from finished yet

BRRABill

I just did this myself today. Woooohooo!

As a Linux noob it took me a while to realize I needed SUDO before the commands. But I got it finally.

sudo - don't use CAPS in linux, lol.

olivier

@BRRABill We just finished the new VM import stuff, which get:

multiple XVA support
pool/SR select
drag and drop

We'll also include a progress bar for each file I think (sooner or later)

XO4 is awesome. Can't wait to see XO5.

Hey, BTW is XO4 officially supported on 16.04?

olivier

@BRRABill There is no "official" support anywhere else XOA. We don't have the resources to validate multiple distros. But because Xen Orchestra use a very small number of system dependencies, it should work everywhere. I just cannot guarantee this.
