As a result since we now free the datapointed by the xdr message within remoteDispatchDomainEventSend() , this errors wasn't shown before but leads to a double free now. BTW it seems we don't check all allocations in the xdr code (on purpose ?) for example make_nonnull_domain() doesn't check a strdup. Could you check the following patch ?

[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.5 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

With a bit of delay, we are entering the freeze for libvirt-0.9.5 . We may make an exception for the last couple of patches from Hu to add string to typed parameters and the extra associated patch, as well as bug fixes too of course ! I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.5-rc1.tar.gz This seems to pass my minimal tests without problems, but please give it a try too and report problems, I think I will make an rc2 next Monday (or earlier) and then try to make the release around Wednesday next week 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/

[Libvirt-announce] Start of freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 and availability of rc1
by Daniel Veillard 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

As plannned we are entering the freeze for libvirt-0.9.4 . I have made a release candidate 1 tarball (and associated rpms) at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.4-rc1.tar.gz This seems to pass my minimal tests without problems, but please give it a try too and report problems, I will probably make an rc2 on Thursday or Friday, and then the final release next Monday or Tuesday, thanks !

I just pushed a second release candidate ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.2-rc2.tar.gz with corresponding rpm builds, this includes the extrenal lock support.

I hope we didn't introduced regressions in portability with the latest API additions ! If people could also try -rc2 it would be great too, thanks !

[Libvirt-announce] Libvirt 0.9.2 week freeze, RC1 version to test
by Daniel Veillard 29 May '11

29 May '11

So we are entering the week freeze for the new version. I have made an rc1 tarball available at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/libvirt-0.9.2-rc1.tar.gz I also made rpms too for those interested. I didn't included the locking patches from Dan Berrange, though I had given a review and ACK on the previous version. Maybe we can push this soon and then I will made an rc2. It would be nice to try to identify the OpenSolaris portability issues,a dn if someone could give it a try on Win32 that would be great (along other linux builds of course !) I have tried it locally and basic operations seems to work fine, please give it a try too. thanks !
