[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-4.6.0

Okay it took a bit longer than usual but the relrase is out, it's tagged in git and signed tarball and rpms have been pushed to the usual place, but there was quite a few bug fixes going in after RC2 was cut. ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also made libvirt-python 4.6.0 bindings release in a similar fashion available at : ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ So though the release note don't list any bug fixes we know there is a batch of those in, otherwise this is mainly features and improvement targetting QEmu and virsh users: New features: - qemu: Implement the HTM pSeries feature Users can now decide whether HTM (Hardware Transactional Memory) support should be available to the guest. - qemu: Enable VNC console for mediated devices Host devices now support a new atribute 'display' which can be used to turn on frame buffer rendering on a vgpu mediated device instead of on an emulated GPU, like QXL. Improvements: - qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'none' Introduce a new video model type that disables the automatic addition of a video device to domains with 'graphics' specified in their XML. This can be useful with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the only rendering devices within the guest. - virsh: Add --alias to attach-disk and attach-interface commands Add option --alias to set customized device alias name when using attach-disk or attach-interface commands. - virsh: Support usb and sata address to attach-disk Usb or sata address could be used when attach-disk with --address. For example, use usb address as usb:<bus>.<port>, use sata address as <controller>.<bus>.<unit>. Thanks everybody for your help with this release, hopefully the next one beginning of Sept will be more timely !
