So as planned, I tagged the release in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt I also pushed the associated python release for 1.3.0 though there was no actual code change except numbering: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python The bump in version minor number comes from the addition of the administration API which nearly made it in 1.2.17 in the summer but was postponed since. That is backed up by serious improvement in virtio support and logging. As usual that release carries a sigificant amount of fixes and smaller improvements too: Features: - virt-admin and administration API (Erik Skultety, Martin Kletzander) - various improvements in virtio devices support (Ján Tomko, Marc-André Lureau) - log daemon, logging improvements and protocol (Daniel P.
