Proxmox VE 5.0 beta1 based on Debian 9.0 has been released



We are proud to announce the release of the first beta of our Proxmox VE 5.x family - based on the great Debian Stretch.

With the first beta we invite you to test your hardware and your upgrade path. The underlying Debian Stretch is already in a good shape and the 4.10 kernel performs outstandingly well. The 4.10 kernel for example allows running a Windows 2016 Hyper-V as a guest OS (nested virtualization).

This beta release provides already packages for Ceph Luminous v12.0.0.0 (dev), the basis for the next long-term Ceph release.

Whats next?
In the coming weeks we will integrate step by step new features into the beta, and we will fix all release critical bugs.
