[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.0.0 release
by Daniel Veillard 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

As scheduled, we are entering freeze for 1.0.0, yay ! I have tagged the git tree and pushed libvirt-1.0.0-rc1.tar.gz release candidate 1 to the ftp (along with rpms): ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Due to the slightly higher visibility of this release, we are giving a bit more time for testing of the candidates, and the plan is to push the final version at the end of next week, so expect an rc2 at the end of the week and probably an rc3 by mid next week. Give it a try and report, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-designer 0.0.1 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

I am pleased to announce that the first release of the libvirt-designer package, version 0.0.1, is now available from ftp://ftp.libvirt.org/libvirt/designer/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) New in this release: - Everything ! The libvirt-designer package provides a library that integrates libosinfo and libvirt-gconfig. Given an operating system identifier and libvirt host capabilities, it queries the libosinfo database to determine optimal hardware configuration and uses this information to design suitable domain XML for running the OS as a guest. In a similar manner it facilitates the setup of guest hardware devices such as disks, network interfaces, video cards, etc. These APIs are inspired by experience creating internal APIs for similar tasks in the virt-install/virt-manager projects. Since it builds on libosinfo and libvirt-gconfig, the libvirt-designer library relies on GObject introspection to provide access to its APIs for non-C programming languages. In addition it explicitly avoids a direct depedancy on libvirt.so, to enable usage by applications using alternative SNMP, CIM, etc bindings to libvirt, or those applications which simply need to construct libvirt XML without actually booting the guests afterwards. These early releases of libvirt-designer should be considered experimental. While we don't actively plan to change/break the API/ABI, we are not going to guarantee API/ABI stability of libvirt-designer at this time. Follow up comments about libvirt-designer should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release, in particular Michal who is actually doing the vast majority of the hard work here.

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.1.3 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.3, 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: - Improve documentation for set_memory method in GVirConfigDomain - Handle size units for memory attributes - Add API for current memory - Fix python example to specify virt type - Use 1 GB of RAM in python example instead 1 TB ! - Add API to get hypervisor name and version - Avoid NULL format string for g_set_error - Fix XXX_new_with_xml constructors for config objects - Add misc getters for VNC/SPICE config attributes - Add handling of PMSUSPENDED state - Add handling of WAKEUP events - Require libvirt 0.10.2 minimum - Add API for domain PM wakeup 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 forever, with libvirt-glib we are not yet guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI permanently stable. As of the 0.0.8 release, we have tentatively frozen the API/ABI with the intent of being longterm stable hereafter, but there is still a small chance we might find flaws requiring an API/ABI change. The likelihood of this is low, however, and we will strive to avoid it. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com development list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.
