Don't know if next release will be 4.6.0 or just 4.5.8.
Not that it really matters :)

This change was mostly to remove the (empty) milestone tracker for 4.5.6 due to it being reached and update the existing 4.6.0 milestone tracker with a working link. No milestone is present on github for 4.5.8 so this was not added. :)

+# oVirt 4.5.7 Release Notes
+
+The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the 4.5.7 release as of December 17 2025.


We don't need to forget to update the date once release is pushed.

+[release notes for previous versions](/documentation/#previous-release-notes).
+
+> IMPORTANT
+> If you are going to install on RHEL or derivatives please follow [Installing on RHEL](/download/install_on_rhel.html) first.


Docs on that page should be extended with RHEL10 info.
For COPR you can find them on
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ovirt/ovirt-master-snapshot/

For AlmaLinux etc, the step in 'The following repositories need to be enabled for RHEL 9.x only.' is not needed btw.
So install on AlmaLinux is exactly the same as CentOS (except for COPR)

+- Reconnect faster to host after reboot, instead of static 10 minutes adapted to connect when host is back online.
+- On boot of VM have a spare of `NumOfPciExpressPorts` PCIe ports available instead of a fixed number.
+- Add the optional `attach_wgt` flag to the vm start endpoint. This will auto attach the virtio-win iso to the vm.
+- Ability to add tags to templates.


via UI.
it was already possible via API afaik.

dupondje · 2025-12-22T14:23:11Z

+- Added ability to alter video device through API.
+- Set audio value to ich9 starting from rhel7 on Q35.
+- When a VDS network error occurs during VM start, set the VM status to "Unknown" instead of letting it fall through to "Down". This to prevent duplicate VM deployments.
+- Ability to update VM Network QoS when QoS modified on a vNIC profile.


'Update QoS on running VM's when a QoS profile has been modified or when QoS was changed on a vNIC profile'

+## New releases in 4.5.7?


No need for the question mark?

dupondje · 2025-12-22T14:27:33Z

+- Improve isLiveDelete check on VM.
+- Dropped deprecated packages.
+- Dropped Ceph, Cinderlib and collectd in Centos 10 due to not available.
+- Added new DC/Cluster level.


Cluster level 4.8 now uses 'pc-q35-rhel9.6.0' machine type and enables discard-no-unref by default.

Same here, but maybe we should only add it in the release notes?
As there won't be centos10/alma10 upgrades now.
