Technically this is also the first release of libvirt-python as this is the major change leading to the bump in middle version number. The libvirt tarballs and rpms are available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ while libvirt-python-1.2.0 tarball and rpms are in the new location: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirts of course both git trees are now tagged and development can resume. The other 2 major user visible features are support for gluster pools at the storage level and support for VBox 4.3 . This is otherwise a relatively small release with less than 200 commits with a balanced ratio of bug fixes and improvements: Features: - Add support for gluster pool (Eric Blake) - Remove python binding (Daniel P.
