As promised there is a fixup release since 0.10.0 is catastrophic, and I should probably wear a brown paper bag ... The tarball is being pushed as I write this and should be available soon at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ There are still known issues, count 2 weeks of developments and a new week of freeze before 0.10.2, hopefully we will get those fixed by then !

[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-0.10.0
by Daniel Veillard 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

As planned, I tagged the release this morning and pushed the builds at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This is a huge release, with close to 550 commits, which is normal considering the time since the 0.9.13 release, close to two month instead of one. I think it's better to go back to monthly releases schedule for now, and I would rather have the next one soon than late so expect to enter a freeze for 0.10.1 about 3 weeks from now. So quite a lot of features in that version including the Parallel driver. But there is a very large set of commits which are code improvements and refactoring which don't show up as features but are fairly large ! Features: - agent: add qemuAgentArbitraryCommand() for general qemu agent command (MATSUDA Daiki) - Introduce virDomainPinEmulator and virDomainGetEmulatorPinInfo functions.

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-0.10.0
by Daniel Veillard 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

As planned, I just tagged 0.10.0 release candidate 1 in git and pushed a tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I gave it a try locally and things seems to work as expected, but that's far from an extensive testing :-) So please try it, try to compile it on various platforms and send feedback to the list. My schedule is to make an rc2 probably for the week-end and ideally a final release a week from now, thanks in advance !

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.1.2 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.2, 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 async binding for virDomainResume - Fix deadlock in event loop handle/timer removal 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.

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: Release of libvirt-sandbox version 0.1.0
by Daniel P. Berrange 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

I pleased to announce the a new public release of libvirt-sandbox, version 0.1.0, is now available for download ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/sandbox/ The packages are GPG signed with Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R) The libvirt-sandbox package provides an API layer on top of libvirt-gobject which facilitates the cration of application sandboxes using virtualization technology. An application sandbox is a virtual machine or container that runs a single application binary, directly from the host OS filesystem. In other words there is no separate guest operating system install to build or manager. At this point in time libvirt-sandbox can create sandboxes using either LXC or KVM, and should in theory be extendable to any libvirt driver. The first release is able to run simple command line based programs. This release has focused on improving the virt-sandbox-service tool, to facilitate creation and management of system services within sandboxes. For example, to allow a single host to easily run 100's of isolated apache instances. Changed in this release: - ABI+API incompatible with previous library, so new soname - Some changes to CLI args for virt-sandbox command - Many fixes to virt-sandbox-service - Use /run/libvirt-sandbox instead of /root/.cache/libvirt when run as root - Fix typo setting RUNDIR - Re-add /kernel suffix to kmod search dir - Add APIs to select kernel version - Fix SEGV when attaching consoles to NULL stdin - Add logrotate script for virt-sandbox-service - Turn GVirSandboxConsole into an abstract class - Configurable keysequence for breaking out of console (defaults to Ctrl+]) - Fix handling of strace debugging - Add APIs to select kmod directory prefix - Require glib >= 2.32 - Refactor APIs for configuring sandbox mounts - Maintain a single sorted list of mounts - Add support for RAM filesystems - Setup tmpfs for /run and /tmp in sandbox services - Remove need to provide executable for sandbox services, just rely on systemd unit filename - Enable admin customization of systemd services in sandbox services - Rewrite part of virt-sandbox-service in C to reduce long term memory overhead - Create custom systemd startup sequence Thanks to everyone who has contributed towards this release.
