All,
I'm pleased to announce release 0.10.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited input from the user. Release 0.10.0 is a bugfix and feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.9.0 and 0.10.0 are:
* Support for installing OpenSUSE 12.1 and 12.2
* Support for python3
* Support for Ubuntu 12.04.1, 12.04.2, and 12.10
* Fix up <command> ordering so that commands are run in the order they are specified in the XML
* Updates and fixes to the documentation
* Increase the shutdown timeout to support slower qemu guests
* Add a default screenshot directory as /var/lib/oz/screenshots
* Support for RHEL 5.9
* Support for Fedora 18
* Switch over to pycurl for header information; this allows http authentication to work
* Switch to using the libvirt built-in screenshot mechanism. This removes the gvnc dependency and makes screenshots more reliable, but requires libvirt 0.9.7 or newer
* Delete auto-generated ssh keys after customization
A tarball of this release is available, as well as packages for Fedora-17. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at http://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki .
