DESCRIPTION

Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage
large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly
scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform.

RELEASES
* 4.0.2 was released on April 24, 2013

CURRENT ACTIVITY

* The 4.1.0 release has been slower in getting finalized, due to upgrade
  bugs from older (2.x) versions of the software. Issues with the
  upgrade path is actually helping to inspire some new contributors to

  release, and a schedule has been set for that release.
