Okay the new release is out and available as uauls at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ along with rpms generated on Fedora16, the git tree is tagged too. As suggested earlier it seems that the rate of commits is slowing down a bit, for example it took one month an a half to accumulate the 300+ commits of this release, considering that there is uauslly a slowdown during the summer months I plan to push the next release at the end of August, well unless there is a lot of activities or something urgent to push in the meantime.
