Okay, I screwed up the tarball for the first stable release, due to not building it from a fresh checkout :/ No changes for this one except a version bump and dist rebuild.
This release can be downloaded at:

Thanks, Cole
Is there any particular reason that the project is using the same naming convention for stable releases? It appears to be a minor revision update from the standard release cycle. From an outsiders prospective, I don't know how anyone would think that 0.9.11.2 is not a standard update from 0.9.11, as there is no distinction in either the name from the distributed file, or documentation (unless I missed it denoted specifically on libvirt.org).
Would there be any objection to using a distribution file name libvirt-stable-0.9.11.2.tar.gz ?
To me, it is confusing, but that is just my opinion.
Actually to be honest I think we should actually call these 'long term support' or 'maintenance' releases, since we generally consider *all* our releases to be stable releases. The distinction is really that the traditional releases may introduce new features, where as these new micro releases are strictly bug fix only.
