We have mentioned a 1.0 release in passing a few times recently but we have never really set out a clear list of goals for such a notable release. This thread is an attempt to clarify such goals. To avoid making the 1.0 target too hard, we should aim for as *little* as possible on our TODO list. I think the priority here should be on public API level things, or core libvirt infrastructure, and not random impl details of specific hypervisors. In particular I think we should focus on things that make libvirt better to develop app against.
IMHO we should have the following things in the 1.0 release
- List object APIs which directly return the object instance
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636096
* virConnectListAllDomains * virConnectListAllInterfaces * virConnectListAllNetworks * virConnectListAllNWFIlters * virConnectListAllNodeDevices * virConnectListAllSecrets * virConnectListAllStoragePools
* virDomainListAllSnapshots
* virStoragePoolListAllVolumes
NB: with support across LXC, UML, Xen, LibXL, QEMU & ESX
- Lifecycle events for all top level objects
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636027
* virConnectInterfaceEventRegisterAny * virConnectNetworkEventRegisterAny * virConnectNWFilterEventRegisterAny * virConnectNodeDeviceEventRegisterAny * virConnectSecretEventRegisterAny * virConnectStoragePoolEventRegisterAny
- Fine grained access control
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=636148
* Access control infrastructure * PolicyKit driver impl * Simple RBAC driver impl * SELinux driver impl (probably not needed for 1.0)
Do you have suggestions for anything else that you think is very important for libvirt ?

Maybe a set of APIs for runtime setting of some deamon knobs, e.g. maxClients, workerPoolSize, etc. Michal
