It has been an amazing 6½ months since the last stable release of libguestfs. I'd like to plan a new 1.28 release soon. Please follow-up if there are features / blockers / bugs that need to be addressed for 1.28. As usual, bugs which have "1.28" (without quotes) in the Devel Whiteboard field in Bugzilla are nominated as blockers for the release. You can see a list of those here
