All, I'm pleased to announce release 0.12.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the user. Release 0.12.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.11.0 and 0.12.0 are: * Fixes to concurrent oz-install invocations * Python 3 compatibility in the test suites * Support for Ubuntu 12.04.3 * Support for Mageia * Allow a MAC address to be passed in (instead of auto-generated) * Support for RHEL5.10 * Support for Ubuntu 13.10 * Use lxml instead of libxml2 for XML document processing (it has much better error messages) * Remove the unused "tunnels" functionality * Support FreeBSD 10.0 * Remove deprecated functions from the Guest class * Speed up guest customization on guests that support NetworkManager * Follow subprocess commands as they are executed (makes debugging easier) * Ensure that any paths from the user are absolute, otherwise things don't work properly * Add support for OpenSUSE 13.1 * Add support for Fedora 20 * Add support for RHEL-7 A tarball and zipfile of this release is available on the Github releases page: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/releases . Packages for Fedora-19, Fedora-20, and EPEL-6 have been built in Koji and will eventually make their way to stable. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki .
