[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.11 and availability of rc1

by Daniel Veillard

As scheduled, we are entering the freeze for 0.9.11. I think most API additions are now commited to git upstream (please raise your voice quickly if you see something missing !) I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.11-rc1.tar.gz and the git tree is tagged. I think I will make an release candidate 2 tarball on Wednesday, and I'm hoping for a final release on Friday, or maybe Monday if there are issues found. Please give it a try ! Stability and portability feedback are really welcome as we didn't had a release in Feb and the risk of having something messed up is slightly higher than usual ! thanks in advance, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.0.7 release

by Daniel P. Berrange

am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.7 is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) New in this release: - Fix typo in filesystem access mode constant - Remove incorrect encoding of XML attributes - Add support for USB redirection devices - Add support for SPICE agent device - Fix typo in channel device target constant - Make all string getters return a const string - Keep list of devices sorted in original XML order libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable. ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate this will be within the next 6 months in order to line up with Fedora 17. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list redhat com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.6

by Daniel P. Berrange

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.6 is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) New in this release: - Add binding for virDomainBlockResize(): gvir_domain_disk_resize(). - Set correct target node attribute for domain interface. gvir_config_domain_interface_set_ifname() should be setting 'dev' attribute under 'target', not 'device'. - Getter for the associated domain of a domain device. - Getters for GVirConfigDomainInterface attributes. - GVirDomainDevice now has an associated GVirConfigDomainDevice. - Remove now redundant 'path' property from GVirDomainDevice subclasses. - Add gvir_domain_get_devices(). - Empty statistics for user-mode interfaces. One of the limitations of user-mode networking of libvirt is that you can't get statistics for it (not yet, at least). Instead of erroring-out in that case, simply return empty statistics result and spit a debug message. - Fix a GVirStream leak. - Also distribute GNUmakefile, cfg.mk and maint.mk files. libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries: - libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling - libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects - libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable.

[Libvirt-announce] Important, switch of server for libvirt.org

by Daniel Veillard

I learned yesterday that the lab hosting libvirt.org would have power cut off for the week-end due to electical maintainance. I took the opportunity to switch the server to a new box, and just made the switch to the DNS, it may take up to 8 hours to propagate though. I cut ssh access to the old server 194.199.20.115 and reactivated all services on the new box 176.31.99.103 . For read only access nobody should notice the switch, only commiters should notice that and hopefully they are all sleeping right now :-) Grab me on IRC or by email if you notice somethings which doesn't work right (the search is not setup yet and I need to reaactivate various crons, but nearly everything should just work (TM)) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
