XCP-ng Windows PV tools announcements

[dinhngtu]

Hello all,

Version 9.1.145 Release of the Windows PV tools has been released.

(Despite the name, it's still signed; I simply dropped the "Signed" moniker)

Download the latest release here: https://github.com/xcp-ng/win-pv-drivers/releases

It will be integrated into the XCP-ng built-in tools ISO after a test period of 2 weeks.

This release brings the new XCP-ng Standard VGA Display Driver as well as multiple bug fixes to all Windows drivers and guest tools components.

Changes since 9.1.100

• NEW: The XCP-ng Standard VGA Display Driver is now included in the package.
• Improved: XenClean is now a single executable that's more convenient to use.
• Improved: Better uninstalling of existing drivers.
• Fixes: Automatic time sync is now disabled by default on new installations. NTP sync with W32Time is recommended instead.
  • To disable time sync on an existing installation, use the Modify button in Installed apps.
• Fixes: Xen Guest Agent now operates correctly during driver restarts and upgrades.
• Fixes: Fix uninstallation of individual drivers.
• Fixes: Improve stability and efficiency of Xenbus and Xenvbd.
