The 12.6.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs are available at https://download.libvirt.org/ https://download.libvirt.org/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * New features * bhyve: implement ``virDomainRename()`` The bhyve driver now implements the ``virDomainRename()`` API for renaming of a domain (``virsh domrename``). * build: Add option to control building libvirtd Meson option ``libvirtd`` has been added to control building the monolithic libvirtd, independent from the stateful, daemon-based drivers. * sanlock: Add option to check ownership of disk leases The sanlock lock driver plugin now supports the ``check_disk_lease_owner`` setting in sanlock.conf. When enabled, the sanlock plugin will check that leases are owned by the domain attempting to acquire them. * Improvements * qemu: Add ``preserve-running`` action for ``<on_crash>`` Allow qemu VMs to be kept running after they notify that they've crashed. This is useful for guests that can take their own crash dump and reboot. Enjoy. Jirka
