[libvirt] Release of libvirt-4.2.0

Not April fool one, I made the release on time :-) It's signed in git and signed tarball and rpms are pushed to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also pushed a python binding 4.2.0 release which can be found at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ New features - Support building with Python 3 Python is required to build libvirt, and up until now only Python 2 could be used as an interpreter. All scripts used during build have now been made compatible with Python 3, which means both major releases of the language are fully supported. - qemu: Provide ccw address support for graphics and input devices Support the virtio-gpu-ccw device as a video device and virtio-{keyboard, mouse, tablet}-ccw devices as input devices on S390. Improvements - qemu: Add logging of guest crash information on S390 On S390, when the guest crashes and QEMU exposes the guest crash information, log the relevant data to the domain log file. - qemu: use arp table of host to get the IP address of guests Find IP address of a VM by arp table on hosts. If someone customizing IP address inside VM, it will be helpful. - Xen: Remove hard-coded scheduler weight The libxl driver was accidentally hard-coding the per-domain scheduler weight to 1000, silently ignoring any user-provided <shares> in <cputune>. The driver now honors <shares>, and defers setting a default value to Xen. Note that the Xen default is 256, so any domains started after this improvement will have one fourth the shares of previously started domains. If all domains must have equal CPU shares, administrators must manually set the weight of previously started domains to 256, or restart them. there is no documented bug fix but there is quite a few there too :-) Thanks everybody for your help getting this release, with patches, reviews, bug reports, documentation, etc. Enjoy !
