The 7.8.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at https://libvirt.org/sources/ https://libvirt.org/sources/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * New features * nodedev: Add ability to automatically start mediated devices The autostart status of a persistent mediated devices can be managed with the new APIs ``virNodeDeviceSetAutostart()`` and ``virNodeDeviceGetAutostart()``. The corresponding virsh command is ``nodedev-autostart``. In addition, two new APIs were added to get additional information about node devices: ``virNodeDeviceIsPersistent()`` checks whether the device is persistently defined, and ``virNodeDeviceIsActive()`` checks whether the node device is currently active. This information can also be retrieved with the new virsh command ``nodedev-info``. Enjoy. Jirka
