I feel it's been many months since we had a stable release and we've added some significant new features in that time, notably support for v2v to OpenStack. If you have anything that you'd like to get in before 1.40 then let me know by following up. On my list are just two items: * virt-v2v documentation refactoring Preliminary patch posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-November/msg00001.html But I now have a final series which I'm about to post. * libxml2 macro refactoring: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-October/msg00051.html Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.

It's too big a change to do suddenly just before the stable release and the new libvirt-ocaml isn't widely available in distros.
