As planned I tagged the release in git and pushed the new version to the usual place as tarball and rpms: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I hesited a bit in pushing the patchset from Peter fixing the memory corruption bug, but since it seems hard to reproduce and the amount of change was a bit too large to push just before a release, I prefered delaying it until after 1.0.4 . This release is a bit smaller than usual at around 200 patches but that's not surprizing considering the shrter timeframe since 1.0.3. This includes an homogenous set of features, improvements and bug fixes, plus updates for localization of ukrainian (100%), japanese (100%), French (12%) and Gujarati (78%) Features: - qemu: support passthrough for iscsi disks (Paolo Bonzini) - various S390 improvements (Viktor Mihajlovski) - various LXC bugs fixes and improvements (Daniel P.
