[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.1.4
by Daniel Veillard 01 Nov '13

01 Nov '13

I finally tagged and genrated tarballs for RC1 of 1.1.4, so we have now entered freeze. The bits are available as usual at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ My initial testing doesn't show anything suspicious but is limited, so please give it a try, especially for portability issues ! If all goes well i will probably make an rc2 by Thurday and release 1.1.4 for good on Monday 4th. Give it a try ! thanks, 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/

[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 !

(Claudio Bley) - Split "build" target and automatically rebuild out of date files. (Claudio Bley) - Split JUnit tests and use a fixture for Connect. (Claudio Bley) - Call processError only if a libvirt function indicates an error. (Claudio Bley) - Change visibility of class members to private to enforce encapsulation. (Claudio Bley) - Make finalize() methods protected. (Claudio Bley) - Add findbugs build file for ant. (Claudio Bley) - Introduce a javac.debug property. (Claudio Bley) - maint: correct name for license file (Eric Blake) - Add Javadoc and Source JARs to Maven repo (Wido den Hollander) - Fix the Maven build system with Ant (Wido den Hollander) Cleanups: - trivial remove unused imports (Stefan Majer) - Remove unused imports (Stefan Majer) - Remove functions not intended to be used by libvirt bindings. (Claudio Bley) - Remove the libvirt instance attribute from all classes. (Claudio Bley) - Mark virConnCopyLastError and virConnGetLastError as deprecated.
