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.

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. - Lifecycle events for all top level objects

Do you have suggestions for anything else that you think is very important for libvirt ?

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)
