[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.0.9 release
by Daniel P. Berrange
I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package,
version 0.0.8 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:
- Full API docs for libvirt-glib library
- Add API for getting domain OS config
- Add API for getting domain OS boot devices
- Add APIs for querying host capabilities
- Add missing domain OS type enum values
- Add API for getting domain virt type
- Add comprehensive API arg checking
- Add API for getting domain arch
- Allow zero timeouts in timer
- Fix build with newer glibc-headers and -O0
- Fix generation of filesystem source element
- Port to use Mingw64 toolchain for automated builds
- Add async API for starting domains
- Fix thread safety of event loop timeouts/watches
- Add support for filesystem type=bind|ram
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 redhat com development list.
Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.
Regards,
Daniel

already carried in Fedora 16, or fixed bugs filed against Fedora 16. If anyone
else is planning on using this release, and knows of useful and safe backport
candidates for future releases, please let me know.
Changes in this version:
