guest-templates*
The updated packages add templates for RHEL 8 and derivatives as well as a template for Debian 10.
Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/274 (RHEL 8 and derivatives) and https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/276 (debian 10).
xcp-ng-pv-tools
The updated package adds support for installing the tools on RHEL 8 and its derivatives (CentOS, Oracle Linux, etc.).
Update: a new revision of the package now also adds tentative support for:
- CloudLinux
- Alpine Linux
- FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)
Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/293.
What we need
As usual, Vates tests the updates internally, but we also rely on the community to widen the test cases and hardware tested, so we need you to install the updates and give us feedback, either positive or negative, before we can consider pushing those updates to everyone!
Please use the github issues to provide feedback so this thread here remains clean.

installed and tried to use a centos8 template. It does not allow to use UEFI. Is this intended?

November 2019 security update for XCP-ng
New security update candidates are available (XCP-ng 7.6 and 8.0). As usual, I will only release them to everyone after enough testing, so if you can please install the update candidates.
Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/302

But also...
I'm also still interested in feedback regarding the added support in the guest tools ISO for:
- CloudLinux
- Alpine Linux
- FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)
... and the added Debian 10 template. See my post about that https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/18268 above.
I'd like to release all updates at the same time if possible.

Hi Stormi - any chance you could add support for Gentoo Linux?
-
It's not on my priority list but I'd probably accept a well tested pull request to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xe-guest-utilities/

The security issues are serious and public, and I haven't had any feedback about the update candidates yet, so I'm doubling my call.

Last chance to test before I release them based only on our internal testing.
