[Libvirt-announce] Entering freeze for libvirt-1.2.4
by Daniel Veillard 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

As planned on Friday, I tagged the tree earlier today for Release Candidate 1, the tarball and rpms are available from the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Seems to work fine in my limited testing, but distcheck failed with xsltproc being unable to access ../../ . I don't think anything changed there on my side so it smells like a new problem. Otherwise looks good to me so far, with a bit of luck we can push 1.2.4 end of Friday or sometime next week-end, 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-1.2.3
by Daniel Veillard 30 Mar '14

30 Mar '14

I'm one day late but i have tagged the tree and pushed a release candidate 1 tarball and associated rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Being optimistic maybe we can push it on April 1st but maybe it will be safer to wait for Wed for more feedback. I gave it a bit of testing, it looks fine with my limited check, but please 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-1.2.2
by Daniel Veillard 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

As planned I tagged a release candidate 1 version in git and made tarballs and rpms available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ it seems to work well in my limited testing, but let's spend some time this week making more tests and checking it compiles on other systems and architectures. if all goes well I will probably push the release next week-end, with an rc2 on Wednesday based on feedback, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.1.8
by Daniel P. Berrange 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.1.8, 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: - Add getter/setter for UUID in domain config - Remove dead code / unused variables - Add missing symbol exports - Add support for setting nwfilters in domain config - Switch to standard gobject introspection autotools macros - Fix typo preventing removal of clock config - Add getter/setters for disk driver type - Add unit tests based on glib tap harness - Add test for validating symbol file exports - Add getters for domain graphics config params - Add more getters for domain timer config - Add support for hpet timer type - Fix event loop impl on win32 - Fix parent class/object of pit timer class - Fix misc API doc bugs - Add more getters for domain clock config - Fix removal of domain CPU feature flags - Fix removal of capabilities CPU topology - Misc fixes to glib event loop integration 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 yet guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI permanently stable. As of the 0.0.8 release, we have tentatively frozen the API/ABI with the intent of being longterm stable hereafter, but there is still a small chance we might find flaws requiring an API/ABI change. The likelihood of this is low, however, and we will strive to 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.
