[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.2
by Daniel P. Berrange 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.2 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) New in this release: - Add API to redefine an existing domain. - Explicitly call virInitialize() to avoid connection races. - Adjust example to latest pygobject-3.0. - Add missing deps on libxml2-devel & libtool. - Add support for writing to streams - Add API for creating transient domains - Change all flags parameters to be guint - Uncomment & fix code for returning object config - Ensure pools & domains hashes are non-NULL to avoid SEGV - Don't de-reference GError instances which are NULL - Update COPYING file to have latest FSF address - Update RPM specfile to include Fedora review feedback 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, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable. ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate this will be within the next 6 months in order to line up with Fedora 17. 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] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.1
by Daniel P. Berrange 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

I am pleased to announce the first release of the libvirt-glib package, version 0.0.1 is now available from ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/ The packages are GPG signed with Key ID: 15104FDF Daniel P. Berrange <berrange(a)redhat.com> Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF 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 As of this release only the event loop integration and some basic APIs for managing domains are provided. The representation of XML as GObjects is a major work item that is just beginning. The libvirt-gconfig library can be used without linking to the main libvirt.so library, so it is suitable for consumption by applications which use libvirt indirectly via AMQP, CIM or another API transport which accepts XML documents. All the libraries support GObject introspection to enable immediate usage from any language which can dynamically import objects via introspection. There are also Vala bindings which are automatically generated from the introspection data. NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases, we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable. ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate this will be within the next 6 months in order to line up with Fedora 17. Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list(a)redhat.com developmenht list. Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.7 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

We are now entering the freeze for libvirt-0.9.7 . We may make an exception for patch set which got a few round of reviews though, like Stefan's ones (v4 IIRC), and anything which we know may need fixing in the API before the release. I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.7-rc1.tar.gz I think I will make an rc2 on Wed or Thu and then try to make the release around Friday of the end of the week if things looks good. Please give it a try ! thanks in advance, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ daniel(a)veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/

I am pleased to announce a new release of the Perl binding, Sys::Virt version 0.9.5, is now available for download: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DANBERR/Sys-Virt-0.9.5.tar.gz Changes in this release - Add all new APIs in libvirt 0.9.5 - Add missing snapshot creation/lookup methods - Fix typo in method listing snapshots - Add missing snapshot constant - Add example for save/restore usage - Re-add abort job binding accidentally deleted All historical releases and online documentation are available from the CPAN page http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Virt/ There is no planned update for libvirt 0.9.6, since that did not introduce any new APIs that require work in the Perl layer.

by Daniel Veillard 22 Sep '11

22 Sep '11

That's what is now usually called a brown paper bag release (dixit Linus) [*] since 0.9.5 had broken shudown with the two last released versions of QEmu 0.9.6 should be available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ and obviously only contains a few bug fixes and local improvements. People should not ship 0.9.5, and use 0.9.6 instead, thanks in advance ! Bug Fixes: - snapshot: fix logic bug in qemu undefine (Eric Blake) - sanlock: fix memory leak (Eric Blake) - virsh: fix regression in argv parsing (Eric Blake) - storage: Wait udev events are handled before removing lvm vol (Osier Yang) - qemu: avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer (Alex Jia) - qemu: Avoid loop of fake reboots (Jiri Denemark) - qemu: Fix shutdown regression with buggy qemu (Jiri Denemark) - remote: fix crash on OOM (Eric Blake) Improvements: - snapshot: also delete empty directory (Eric Blake) - snapshot: remove snapshot metadata on transient exit (Eric Blake) - snapshot: prepare to remove transient snapshot metadata (Eric Blake) - virsh: More friendly err if no pool is specified for looking up a vol (Osier Yang) - tests: improve test failure diagnosis (Oskari Saarenmaa) - API: prefer to use NULLSTR macro (Osier Yang) - xen: use typical allocations (Eric Blake) - virsh: Remove useless codes of cmdVolPath (Osier Yang) Portability: - build: silence warning on 32-bit build (Eric Blake) Thanks to all who reported and helped fix those issues quickly !!!

[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-0.9.5
by Daniel Veillard 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Okay, it is finally out of the box :-) available as usual on ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ The snapshot support in that version should have improved a lot, and for the curious there is some early support for Microsoft hypervisor now, updated support for USB should also be a major user improvement.

Right though they do far more allocations. I ended up pushing the following patch which tries to be a bit better on handling memory allocation error, but it's not fully complete yet: Fix crash on events due to allocation errors remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob, remoteRelayDomainEventIOError, remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason and remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics were using const string directly in rpc structure, before calling remoteDispatchDomainEventSend(). But that routine now frees up all the pointed allocated memory from the rpc structure and we end up with a double free. This now strdup() all the strings passed and provide mem_error goto labels to be used when an allocation error occurs. Note that the cleanup isn't completely finished because all relaying function also call make_nonnull_domain() which also allocate a string and never handle the error case. This patches doesn't try to address this as this is only error correctness a priori and touches far more functions in this module: * daemon/remote.c: fix string allocations and memory error handling for remoteRelayDomainEventBlockJob, remoteRelayDomainEventIOError, remoteRelayDomainEventIOErrorReason and remoteRelayDomainEventGraphics diff --git a/daemon/remote.c b/daemon/remote.c index 45244f8..74e759a 100644 --- a/daemon/remote.c +++ b/daemon/remote.c @@ -234,9 +234,13 @@ static int remoteRelayDomainEventIOError(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, /* build return data */ memset(&data, 0, sizeof data);
