I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package,
version 0.0.8 is now available from
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/
The packages are GPG signed with
Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R)
New in this release:
- Full API docs for libvirt-glib library
- Add API for getting domain OS config
- Add API for getting domain OS boot devices
- Add APIs for querying host capabilities
- Add missing domain OS type enum values
- Add API for getting domain virt type
- Add comprehensive API arg checking
- Add API for getting domain arch
- Allow zero timeouts in timer
- Fix build with newer glibc-headers and -O0
- Fix generation of filesystem source element
- Port to use Mingw64 toolchain for automated builds
- Add async API for starting domains
- Fix thread safety of event loop timeouts/watches
- Add support for filesystem type=bind|ram
libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries:
- libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling
- libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects
- libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system
NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable forever, with libvirt-glib
we are not yet guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI
permanently stable. As of the 0.0.8 release, we have tentatively frozen
the API/ABI with the intent of being longterm stable hereafter, but
there is still a small chance we might find flaws requiring an API/ABI
change. The likelihood of this is low, however, and we will strive to
avoid it.
Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular
libvir-list redhat com development list.
Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.
Regards,
Daniel
