[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.3
by Daniel Veillard 29 Sep '13

29 Sep '13

I'm a day late from suggested schedule, but I have now tagged rc1 in git and pushed the tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ My initial testing didn't revealed anything bad, but wider testing is obviously needed, i have heard of problem on FreeBSD by Jason, hopefully we can collect and fix those in time. I will probably make rc2 during the w.e. and depending on news push on Tuesday next week or a bit later the final 1.1.3 thanks for testing and reports !

While we've been working on it for a little while, we've never really had any content on libvirt.org focusing on the libvirt sandbox toolkit. To address this content gap, I've started a small website to provide useful info around their design, technology & usage. http://sandbox.libvirt.org/ Regards, Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|
