[borzel]

https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.8.0.0

*of course XenOrchestra is the most loved advanced client

[MajorTom]

@borzel Thank you!!

[ruskofd]

Thanks captain Borzel to maintain this software

[borzel]

@ruskofd it was like the versions before a little fight with git and branches ... and I'm sure there are some issues hidden. But for the price you get an awesome product

[_danielgurgel]

A great release would be a great opportunity to change the XOA interface a bit.

[borzel]

@_danielgurgel you are in the wrong thread. This is about XCP-ng Center.

XenOrchestra (and the corresponding appliance XOA) is another client.

[ruskofd]

@_danielgurgel I think there is some redesign planned for XO.

Thanks @borzel for all the hard work

Argh! No! It doesn't support 6.5!
Yes I know it's old but I have some servers using that and migrating is out of my hands.

How do I downgrade? I tried downloading 7.6 but the windows installer won't run because it detects I have a newer version.

[olivierlambert]

Is it possible to use both XCP-ng Center and XenCenter on the same Windows session? It could be a workaround

Good thinking cheers. I already had it installed and it's working - at least for the three servers I needed it for.

Note that I didn't say anything about Xen Orchestra (which is working from XS 5.x to CH 8.0 and XCP-ng 8.0)

I'm still using that also

[mmetully]

Wish there had been a notice that backwards compatibility was literally being nixxed. This removed compatibility with everything from XS 4.x to 6.5 which is 93% of the servers I had it hooked to.

If you don't mind, can you comment on that change in the release notes?

[olivierlambert]

Unrelated but… wow! 4.x! Never heard of this version being used since we started XO project. I'm even curious: does XO work with those?

[borzel]

@mmetully just added a note to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.8.0.0
I was not aware of this change

[mmetully]

Reviewed my server versions after rolling back to 7.6.3.20, that was a misunderstanding on my part. It's just 6.5 that we are primarily running that is now incompatible. I was mixing that up with another hypervisor's versioning system.

[apayne]

I just tried the help feature from the program menu, because I'm wanting to see the port numbers that it uses. It appears those are not connected to anything?

[borzel]

@apayne as listed in the release notes, there is no help until someone cares about and does the work: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/20

borzel created this issue in xcp-ng/xenadmin

closed What about the help files (*.chm) #20
