Rust-based guest-tools... How are things going?

probain

I'm just curious

Looking at the commit history for the Rust-based guest-tools, from the Xen-project. https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent

Shows the last commit being done october 2024.. What is the status of this project? Is it dead, in hibernation, or should the xenserver-tools be used instead?

Thanks

The thing is that it works very well and doesn't need fixes… I know, not usual right? It was so stable that we left it like that waiting for people coming for bugs and nothing happened… We'll cut a 1.0 in the next weeks/months.

I have indeed seen the stability of it myself. But the lack of updates made me worry anyway. But I'm really looking forward to the promotion to 1.0 as well.

Thanks!
