I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package,
version 1.0.0, 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)

Changes in this release:

- Switch to new release numbering scheme, major
  digit incremented each year, minor for each
  release, micro for stable branches (if any)
- Fix Libs.private variable in pkg-config file
- Fix git introspection warnings
- Add ability to set SPICE gl property
- Add support for virtio video model
- Add support for 3d accel property
- Add support for querying video model
- Add support for host device config for PCI devs
- Add docs for more APIs
- Avoid unused variable warnings
- Fix check for libvirt optional features to use pkg-config
- Delete manually written python binding. All apps should
  use PyGObject with gobjection introspection.
- Add schema to be NULL on config objects
- Preserve unknown devices listed in XML
- Add further test coverage

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 forever, with libvirt-glib
we are not currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are
permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the
API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive avoid it.

Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular
libvir-list at redhat.com development list.

Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.

Regards,
Daniel
