XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

ph7

I updated my test host and all seems to work fine.
But I have 1 question:
Do I need to disable the testing repo or is it removed at the reboot?

yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
reboot

@ph7 It's only enabled for the two yum command with the --enablerepo explicitly used.
It's disabled in the config otherwise.
No need to do anything

Thank you for the tests!

@TeddyAstie Is the list of "issues and limitations" of nested virtualization under Xen documented somewhere?

@bvitnik It's better to consider it as working by chance in some scenarios, but I think Teddy can give you details

@gduperrey
Is a reboot required for this batch of updates?
