[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-java-0.5.0

[Daniel Veillard]

  With a bit of delay, the release needed by Wido is finally available,
it is tagged in git and I have pushed tarball, jar and rpms to the FTP:

   ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/

Wido maybe you can push to Maven, I'm unsure how to do this and last
time I tried I made a mess :-)

I bumped the intermediate release number as this release includes
more improvements and fixes than the previous ones and deprecates a
couple of things:
