We are happy to announce CloudLinux 6.1 Beta. This release brings us in line with RHEL 6.x, and CentOS 6.x. The standard conversion scripts (centos2cl or cpanel2cl) were upgraded to handle conversion of RHEL/CentOS 6.x servers and ISO images for CloudLinux 6.1 are available for download http://www.cloudlinux.com/downloads

CloudLinux 6.1 comes with a new kernel based on 2.6.32. The new kernel is more efficient than the one available in CloudLinux 5.x. The new version will no longer create migration threads, and in most cases, should outperform CloudLinux 5.x

There are few known issues with CloudLinux 6:

• lve-stats don't work - should be fixed within days
• CageFS and MySQL governor are not yet available on CloudLinux 6.1 - we plan to introduce compatible versions in a few weeks

Everything else should be fully functional. We are waiting for our upstream kernel (OpenVZ) to be moved to 'stable' from 'beta', and we should announce a stable release of CloudLinux 6.1 soon after. We expect this within the next 30 days.

Please try CloudLinux 6.x in your environments. A license is required, so please feel free to register another account/request another trial license if needed.
