Status and Plans for Next Release
Daniel Veillard recapped[1] the release plans. A "feature freeze on the 22nd" and a "target for next release is Friday 29th".
Work will continue on
"reviewing and adding OpenNebula[2]/Power[3] drivers and try to get the
NPIV[4], netcf[5] and secure migration patches in. It's likely not
everything will make the release cut but we can try !"
"So far we have mostly a lot of bug fixes and VirtualBox[6] driver updates commited since 0.6.3."
Support for Multi-headed Guests
Patches from Pritesh Kothari adding support for multiple graphics devices have been committed[1]
Virtual Box Support Increases
Pritesh Kothari contributed patches improving the VirtualBox[1] driver submitted[2] just last month.
PCI Passthrough Support
Aaron Clausen had[1] trouble using PCI passthrough[2].
Daniel Berrange
noted[3]

Mark McLoughlin
"just wrote up some notes[4]
for the Fedora 11 virt test" day.
Daniel also noted "you need a machine supporting VT-D[5]" (or IOMMU[6] in general) "for this work - the vast majority of hosts with fullvirt support do *not* yet support VT-D passthrough, but perhaps you're lucky ..."
