As planned a new release is out, just in time for the OpenStack Summit. It is tagged in git and available as signed rpms and tarballs at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This is a slightly smaler than usual release, around 200 commits, probably due top the KVM forum last month :-) Notable improvements pushed for the vbox driver, some changes too for the libxl one, and a big refectoring of the driver internals though that should not be user visible.
