[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for 0.10.2
by Daniel Veillard 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

I have just tagged the release candidate 1 version and provided tarball and rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ so we have now entered freeze, I hope we didn't forgot any feature except Dan's work for a locking daemon. maybe we can try to push that one for rc2 possibly Thursday or Friday. Then hopefully we can release next Monday or Tuesday. Give it a try, let's chase bugs :-) !

[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-java-0.4.9
by Daniel Veillard 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

New version of the Java bindings are available, I know that there is bugs being chased ATM but I push this release to provide the change of licence from LGPLv2+ to MIT needed by the CloudStack folks (that was done after getting positive feedback from previous contributors). Release available as libvirt-java-0.4.9.tar.gz and rpms at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java it's also tagged in git. Content is slim: - Change Licence to MIT and release 0.4.9 (Daniel Veillard) - Update the maven jar coordinates (Daniel Veillard) (but it is broken one month later no mirror seems to export jars) - Fix IndexOutOfBoundsException for unknown error codes (Claudio Bley) - Add debian packaging for the Java bindings (Wido den Hollander) - Fix javadoc warnings. (Claudio Bley) - Fix typo in Domain.java (Claudio Bley) thanks everybody for the patches, we may push a new release (0.5.0 ?) if the leaks detected by Benjamin Wang get fixed.
