No (sorry for the confusion). Xen 3.0.4 will contain a "preview" of the
Xen-API (i.e. what we've got now) but this will not be the final version of
the protocol or data-model, and will not be declared stable or supported. We
will ensure that the 3.0.3 protocols are supported in 3.0.4, and will take the
time during this freeze to make sure that backwards compatibility to
3.0.3-based clients is all in place.
Xen 3.0.4 _will_ contain a working version of "the lifecycle patches", that
is, the xm new, start, shutdown, delete, suspend, and resume functionality.
The official release of the Xen-API has now been bumped to Xen 3.0.5,
hopefully February or March 2007.
Ewan.
