3rd December, 2010. A month after the release of OpenNebula 2.0 the OpenNebula team is pleased to announce its first maintenance release. This update is the first in a series of stabilization updates to 2.0.0, coming regularly. OpenNebula 2.0.1 brings bugfixes and it is a recommended update for everyone running OpenNebula 2.0 or earlier versions. As the release only contains bugfixes, it will be a safe and smooth update for 2.0 users. OpenNebula 1.4 users may be interested in the following scripts to migrate to 2.0.1, contributed by Marlon Nerling.

Some OpenNebula 2.0.1 fixes include:

• Better packaging of OpenNebula, including its integration in Debian unstable and improved rpm’s.
• Improved distribution of remote actions
• Support for drivers in the DISK attribute to use qcow formats or custom Xen drivers
• Several minor bug fixes. Check the OpenNebula 2.0.1 issues for a complete list.
