by Jiri Denemark
I have just tagged v9.10.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed
tarballs and source RPMs to https://download.libvirt.org/
Please give the release candidate some testing and in case you find a
serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel
free to reply to this thread to make sure the issue is more visible.
If you have not done so yet, please update NEWS.rst to document any
significant change you made since the last release.
Thanks,

ANNOUNCE: Mailing list move complete
by Daniel P. Berrangé
This is an announcement to the effect that the mailing list move is now
complete. TL;DR the new list addresses are:
* announce(a)lists.libvirt.org (formerly libvirt-announce(a)redhat.com)
Low volume, announcements of releases and other important info
* users(a)lists.libvirt.org (formerly libvirt-users(a)redhat.com)
End user questions and discussions and collaboration
* devel(a)lists.libvirt.org (formerly libvir-list(a)redhat.com)
Patch submission for development of main project
* security(a)lists.libvirt.org (formerly libvir-security(a)redhat.com)
Submission of security sensitive bug reports
The online archive and membership mgmt interface is
https://lists.libvirt.org
In my original announcement[1] I mentioned that people would need to manually
re-subscribe. Due to a mixup in communications, our IT admins went ahead and
migrated across the existing entire subscriber base for all lists. Thus there
is NO need to re-subscribe to any of the lists. If you were doing filtering
of mail, you may need to update filters for the new list ID matches.
With the new list server, HyperKitty is providing the web interface. Thus
if you wish to interact with the lists entire via the browser this is now
possible. Note that it requires you to register for an account and set a
password, even if you are already a list subscriber.
If you mistakenly send to the old lists you should receive an auto-reply
about the moved destinations.
Note, we had some technical issues on Thursday/Friday, so if you sent
mails on those two days they probably will not have reached any lists,
and so you may wish to re-send them.
With regards,
Daniel

Release of libvirt-9.9.0
by Jiri Denemark
The 9.9.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/
https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* QEMU: implement reverting external snapshots
Reverting external snapshots is now possible using the existing API
``virDomainSnapshotRevert()``. Management application can check host
capabilities for ``<externalSnapshot/>`` element within the list of
guest features to see if the current libvirt supports both deleting
and reverting external snapshots.
* virsh: add ``console --resume`` support
The ``virsh console`` subcommand now accepts a ``--resume`` option. This
will resume a paused guest after connecting to the console.
* Improvements
* virsh: Improve ``virsh start --console`` behavior
The ``virsh start --console`` now tries to connect to the guest console
before starting the vCPUs.
* virsh: Improve ``virsh create --console`` behavior
The ``virsh create --console`` now tries to connect to the guest console
before starting the vCPUs.
Enjoy.
