Dear list, as you've noticed, libvirt changed the versioning strategy and slowly other subprojects are adapting it too.

It makes sense and therefore I'm letting you know that libvirt-php is adapting this scheme too: commit 3bdbd3175d159a96731bbb95bfd4bbeff7952f16 Author: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; AuthorDate: Sat May 27 11:25:47 2017 +0200 Commit: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; CommitDate: Sat May 27 11:25:47 2017 +0200 Post-release version bump to 0.5.4 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; Michal
