[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.6
by Daniel Veillard
As stated yesterday, we just entered freeze for libvirt-1.2.6,
I have pushed a first release candidate tarball and signed rpms
at the usual place:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
I gave it a try and with my limited testing it looks okay, but
please have a look and test. The goal is to make the release on
Tues 1st if all goes well.
Also of note I will likely move the libvirt.org server Monday
morning (chinese time i.e. sunday for most), it should be quick,
just that if you hit the old IP untim DNS propagates you may
have the old server (I will block ssh access after the move on
the old to avoid split pushes)

[Libvirt-announce] Availability of libvirt-python-1.2.5
by Daniel Veillard
I also made a new release for the python bindings, they are
available at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python
they include support for the 2 new set of APIs introduced in 1.2.5
and a memory leak in older python version, so peope are also invited
to update:
- fix leak in memoryStats with older python (Martin Kletzander)
- Implement virDomain{Get,Set}Time APIs (Michal Privoznik)
- override: add virDomainFSFreeze and virDomainFSThaw API (Tomoki Sekiyama)
thanks everybody !
