[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.8
by Daniel Veillard 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

So I tagged 1.2.8-rc1 in git and made tarball and signed rpms available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ While we seems to have the new API in place it's also clear that there is a bunch of patches still waiting, either related to the new APIs or blocked by lack of review. Please try to prioritize filling up API implementations, and bug fixes for the reviews but I think we need to be open about incremental improvements when they are very specific and allow them in ! I will try to release by Tuesday 2nd Sep, as I will be on the road next week after that time. However the good point of that monthly cycle is that if you get the ACKs needed even if that's not in 1.2.8 that will be in for 1.2.9 next month, in time for KVM Forum :-) Please give a try to the current version, I'm a limited capacity to test it this time, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.1.9
by Daniel P. Berrange 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.9, 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) Changes in this release: - Require glib2 >= 2.36.0 - Add support for spiceport chardev - Misc fixes to build system - Fix ref counting of snapshot devices - Add API for deleting snapshots - Fix RPM layout for vala files - Fix race in build of vala code - Add API for getting security models - Add classes for dealing with CPU models - Fix enum generation - Add API for fetching snapshots 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 currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive 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.

[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.6
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

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) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | Open Source and Standards, Red Hat veillard(a)redhat.com | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/
