[Libvirt-announce] ANNOUNCE: libvirt-glib release 0.0.2

[Daniel P. Berrange]

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 at redhat.com development list.

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

Regards,
Daniel
