[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-1.3.1

As planned I just tagged the release in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also tagged and pushed a python release though there is no change from 1.3.0: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ This is a moderately large release with close to 300 commits packed in, one security patch for CVE-2015-5313, and some user visible feature improvement.
