Sorry I forgot to announce it but we are the last week of the month,
so it's about time, I tagged RC1 in git and pushed the signed tarball
and rpms to the usual place earlier today:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
this seems to work well in my limited testing but as usual we need more
review and check on other platforms or OSes before the release. In general
https://ci.centos.org/view/libvirt/ is green except for glib bindings and
for the master build (weird!)
I will likely push the rc2 Thursday morning, but I mwill be travelling at
the end of the week so that may depends on conditions, and hopefully
the release during this w.e.
thanks for giving it a try !

Okay it took a bit longer than usual but the relrase is out, it's tagged
in git and signed tarball and rpms have been pushed to the usual place, but
there was quite a few bug fixes going in after RC2 was cut.
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
I also made libvirt-python 4.6.0 bindings release in a similar fashion
available at :
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/
So though the release note don't list any bug fixes we know there is a
batch of those in, otherwise this is mainly features and improvement
targetting QEmu and virsh users:
New features:
- qemu: Implement the HTM pSeries feature
Users can now decide whether HTM (Hardware Transactional Memory)
support should be available to the guest.
- qemu: Enable VNC console for mediated devices
Host devices now support a new atribute 'display' which can be used to
turn on frame buffer rendering on a vgpu mediated device instead of on
an emulated GPU, like QXL.
Improvements:
- qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'none'
Introduce a new video model type that disables the automatic addition
of a video device to domains with 'graphics' specified in their XML.
This can be useful with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the
only rendering devices within the guest.
- virsh: Add --alias to attach-disk and attach-interface commands
Add option --alias to set customized device alias name when using
attach-disk or attach-interface commands.
- virsh: Support usb and sata address to attach-disk
Usb or sata address could be used when attach-disk with --address. For
example, use usb address as usb:<bus>.<port>, use sata address as
<controller>.<bus>.<unit>.
Thanks everybody for your help with this release, hopefully the next
one beginning of Sept will be more timely !
Enjoy,
Daniel
