it is 0.1.8 but with 12 patches which are backport of later bug fixes or
important features like localization, shareable disk support, core dump support,
etc ...
I guess it's closer to 0.1.9 as a result than 0.1.8,
Hum ! :-(
Currently, the version of libvirt determines its unequivocal contents.
With a patched version of libvirt, it becomes impossible in an
application to known the functionalities level of libvirt if the version
number is identical to a non-patched libvirt.
Could you explain how it's possible from an application to distinguish
between a patched libvirt and a non-patched libvirt or another patched
version of libvirt by using the virGetVersion() function ?
