[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.2
I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package,
version 0.0.2 is now available from
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/glib/
The packages are GPG signed with
Key fingerprint: DAF3 A6FD B26B 6291 2D0E 8E3F BE86 EBB4 1510 4FDF (4096R)
New in this release:
- Add API to redefine an existing domain.
- Explicitly call virInitialize() to avoid connection races.
- Adjust example to latest pygobject-3.0.
- Add missing deps on libxml2-devel & libtool.
- Add support for writing to streams
- Add API for creating transient domains
- Change all flags parameters to be guint
- Uncomment & fix code for returning object config
- Ensure pools & domains hashes are non-NULL to avoid SEGV
- Don''t de-reference GError instances which are NULL
- Update COPYING file to have latest FSF address
- Update RPM specfile to include Fedora review feedback
libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries:
- libvirt-glib - Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling
- libvirt-gconfig - Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects
- libvirt-gobject - Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system
NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable, for the first few releases,
we are *NOT* guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI stable.
ABI stability will only be guaranteed once the bulk of the APIs have been
fleshed out and proved in non-trivial application usage. We anticipate
this will be within the next 6 months in order to line up with Fedora 17.
Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular
libvir-list@redhat.com development list.
Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.
Regards,
Daniel
