As planned I tagged the release in git and pushed the tarball and signed rpms to the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also generated those for python too even if the only change is a spec file update, they are in the python subdir. This is a smaller than average release, with most of the changes on code refactoring, portability and bug fixes, so no big features here but general improvements: Documentation: - Device{Attach,Detach}: Document S4 limitations (Michal Privoznik) - Add a new example to illustrate domain migration (Sahid Orentino Ferdjaoui) - update docs for setting the QEMU BIOS path (Chen Hanxiao) - document nmdm type console (Roman Bogorodskiy) - Fix typos in src/* (Nehal J Wani) - document that vfio is default for hostdev networks too (Laine Stump) - cpu: Add documentation for CPU driver APIs (Jiri Denemark) - virsh: Fix comment of vshCmdInfo (Li Yang) Portability: - Explicitly link virfirewalltest and virsystemdtest against dbus (Guido Günther) - qemuxml2argvtest: Don't use privileged mode upfront (Guido Günther) - tests: skip virfirewalltest on non-Linux systems (Roman Bogorodskiy) - tests: don't fail with newer gnutls (Martin Kletzander) - fix build with older gcc (Ján Tomko) - storage: reject negative indices (Eric Blake) - networkxml2firewalltest: fix build failure on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - virfirewall: fix build on freebsd (Pavel Hrdina) - Disable libvirtd by default when building on Win32 (Daniel P.
