I'm happy to announce that a new release of virtinst, version 0.300.0, is
available for download from

  http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virtinst/virtinst-0.300.0.tar.gz

This release introduces the virt-image tool which provides the
ability to create guests based on a pre-define image. The image
provides metadata describing the required host virtualization
capabilities, the recommend resource allocations and one or more
pre-installed disk templates. From this is can instantiate new
guests on any suitable hypervisor supported by libvirt. With
the virt-install tool, all new fullyvirtualized guests now get
a USB tablet device configured providing an easier to use pointer.
Further improvements are made to input validation to catch user
errors earlier. Use of the 'xm console' and 'vncviewer' external
programs has been replaced with 'virsh console' and 'virt-viewer'

Thanks to David Lutterkort for creating & documenting the virt-image tool,
and to everyone who has contributing to this release through submitting 
bugs, writing patches & generally testing the code.

Further information on this and other virtualization management tools is
available from the project website"

Dan.
