   Dear All,

   I have been away from the xen-devel mailing list for a long time, since
   December 2009. I have not been kept up to date as to what is going on in
   the Xen community since that time.

   May I know what is the latest xen-unstable release version? Should be in
   the Xen 4.x.x series right?

    
Xen 4.0 is stable branch. Xen 4.0.1-rc6 was just released this week,
and Xen 4.0.1 final expected late next week:

http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-4.0-testing.hg


  
   May I know what is the latest Xen pv-ops dom0 kernel release by Jeremy
   Fitzhardinge?

    
xen.git xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch is the long-term maintained kernel,
currently it's at 2.6.32.19 version, changelog:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=shortlog;h=xen/stable-2.6.32.x


  
   May I know what is the current status of VGA pass-through in the latest
   xen-unstable release and latest Xen pv-ops dom0 kernel release combined?

    
Some (many?) people have gotten it working for primary graphics cards..
And also there are problems with many cards, that require additional tweaks
or vBar=pBar patches.

See:

and (which hasn't been updated much..):
