[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

As plannned we are entering the freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 . I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.4-rc1.tar.gz This seems to pass my minimal tests without problems, but please give it a try too and report problems, I will probably make an rc2 on Thursday or Friday, and then the final release next Monday or Tuesday, thanks !
