As planned I just tagged the release candidate 1 in git and pushed signed
tarball and rpms to the usual place:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
Seems all fine with my limited testing and jenkins is all green:
https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/
so so far thing looks good but that won't replace individual testing especially
on other arches and OSes !
If thing go well I will push the RC2 over the week-end and target the
final 4.3.0 release on Tues or Wed,
in the meantime, plase give it some testing !
Thanks,
Daniel

Not April fool one, I made the release on time :-)
It's signed in git and signed tarball and rpms are pushed to the usual place:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
I also pushed a python binding 4.2.0 release which can be found at:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/
New features
- Support building with Python 3
Python is required to build libvirt, and up until now only Python 2
could be used as an interpreter. All scripts used during build have now
been made compatible with Python 3, which means both major releases of
the language are fully supported.
- qemu: Provide ccw address support for graphics and input devices
Support the virtio-gpu-ccw device as a video device and
virtio-{keyboard, mouse, tablet}-ccw devices as input devices on S390.
Improvements
- qemu: Add logging of guest crash information on S390
On S390, when the guest crashes and QEMU exposes the guest crash
information, log the relevant data to the domain log file.
- qemu: use arp table of host to get the IP address of guests
Find IP address of a VM by arp table on hosts. If someone customizing
IP address inside VM, it will be helpful.
- Xen: Remove hard-coded scheduler weight
The libxl driver was accidentally hard-coding the per-domain scheduler
weight to 1000, silently ignoring any user-provided <shares> in
<cputune>. The driver now honors <shares>, and defers setting a default
value to Xen. Note that the Xen default is 256, so any domains started
after this improvement will have one fourth the shares of previously
started domains. If all domains must have equal CPU shares,
administrators must manually set the weight of previously started
domains to 256, or restart them.
there is no documented bug fix but there is quite a few there too :-)
Thanks everybody for your help getting this release, with patches,
reviews, bug reports, documentation, etc.
Enjoy !
Daniel
