Release of libvirt-9.9.0
The 9.9.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at https://download.libvirt.org/ https://download.libvirt.org/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * New features * QEMU: implement reverting external snapshots Reverting external snapshots is now possible using the existing API ``virDomainSnapshotRevert()``. Management application can check host capabilities for ``<externalSnapshot/>`` element within the list of guest features to see if the current libvirt supports both deleting and reverting external snapshots. * virsh: add ``console --resume`` support The ``virsh console`` subcommand now accepts a ``--resume`` option. This will resume a paused guest after connecting to the console. * Improvements * virsh: Improve ``virsh start --console`` behavior The ``virsh start --console`` now tries to connect to the guest console before starting the vCPUs. * virsh: Improve ``virsh create --console`` behavior The ``virsh create --console`` now tries to connect to the guest console before starting the vCPUs. Enjoy. Jirka

Apologies for failing to take into consideration the MinGW part of the spec file. Again. On the other hand, I think this highlights the fact that our coverage in the area is not adequate. Patches to fix the issue you've reported and hopefully ensure that similar mistakes will not sneak in going forward: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/Y2W2P... -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
