Since the issue I had with rc2 was apparently just on my setup, I just pushed the release. It is available as usual as signed tarball and rpms from : ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also pushed 2.2.0 for the python bindings which you can find at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ This is not a very big release, around 220 commits, august sounds like vacations, plus a number of the developpers travelled to KVM forun so development took a bit of a hit. As a result we have a release more inclined toward bug fixes though there is some features and notable improvements: Features: - Sparse vCPU topologies support and assorted vCPU improvements (Peter Krempa) - Various improvements and fixes for vz driver (Olga Krishtal, Nikolay Shirokovskiy, Maxim Nestratov, Pavel Glushchak, Mikhail Feoktistov) - Various improvements and fixes for libxl driver (Cédric Bosdonnat, Jim Fehlig, Chunyan Liu, Roman Bogorodskiy) Documentation: - docs: Add missing / to closing tag (Christophe Fergeau) - doc: clarify documentation for vcpu order (Peter Krempa) - storage_backend_rbd: fix typos (Chen Hanxiao) - qemu_driver: update comments for qemuDomainSaveInternal (Chen Hanxiao) - virsh: clarify snapshot --live (Chen Hanxiao) Portability: - conf: Fix build with picky GCC (Peter Krempa) - tests: fix domaincapstest linking for libxl (Roman Bogorodskiy) - libxl: fix unused functions (Roman Bogorodskiy) - docs: Distribute subsite.xsl (Michal Privoznik) - nsslinktest: also build virAtomic.h (Kai Kang) - build: centralize use of extra Cygwin LDFLAGS (Eric Blake) - build: use XDR_CFLAGS for Cygwin build (Eric Blake) Bug Fixes: - tests: fix segfault in objecteventtest (Roman Bogorodskiy) - bhyve: fix disks address allocation (Roman Bogorodskiy) - Check for --live flag for postcopy-after-precopy migration (Kothapally Madhu Pavan) - qemu: driver: Validate configuration when setting maximum vcpu count (Peter Krempa) - conf: Don't validate vcpu count in XML parser (Peter Krempa) - qemu: driver: Fix qemuDomainHelperGetVcpus for sparse vcpu topologies (Peter Krempa) - vz: fixed race in vzDomainAttach/DettachDevice (Olga Krishtal) - qemu: fix ethernet network type ip/route assign (Vasiliy Tolstov) - Fix remote_protocol-structs after recent commit (Peter Krempa) - network: Need to free formatted addr in networkDnsmasqConfContents (John Ferlan) - remove the dead code this patch is to remove the dead code Signed-off-by: JieWang <wangjie88(a)huawei.com&gt; (JieWang) - qemu: Fix crash hot plugging luks volume (John Ferlan) - networkxml2conftest: Don't leak dnsmasq capabilities (Michal Privoznik) - vz: fixed race in vzDomainAttach/DettachDevice (Olga Krishtal) - qemu: Fix the command line generation for rbd auth using aes secrets (John Ferlan) - qemu_process: graphics: setup listen types before ports are reserved/allocated (Pavel Hrdina) - conf: Provide error on undefined iothreadsched entry (John Ferlan) - utils: storage: Fix JSON field name for uri based storage (Peter Krempa) - conf: free the ports array of a USB hub (Ján Tomko) - lxc: don't try to reference NULL when mounting filesystems (Daniel P.
