[Libvirt-announce] Candidate Release 2 of libvirt-1.0.2
by Daniel Veillard 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

I have just tagged the rc2 in git and pushed the associated tarball and rpms for F17 to the FTP area: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Seems to work just fine for m limited testing, but please give it a try, and let's limit commits to only bug fixes until the release. I think I will push 1.0.2 final on Wednesday morning if everything is going fine until then, thanks for any testing and feedback !

[Libvirt-announce] [ANNOUNCE] libvirt-glib 0.1.5 release
by Daniel P. Berrange 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.5, 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 support for bridge interface types in guest XML - Add API to open a read-only connection - Add support for smartcard devices in guest XML - Remove storage volume from pool list after deleting it 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.
