As expected, I made the release of 0.9.9 today, it is tagged in git and available at: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ Apparently some people expect the next one to be 1.0.0, but more realistically it should be 0.9.10 and occuring in a month from today :-) So this realease is a relatively light one with around 150 commits i.e. half the usual amount, I assume most people envoyed the end of year vacations :-) .
