I'm happy to announce a new release of virtinst, release 0.300.3 is now 
available for download at:

  http://virt-manager.org/download.html

The direct download link is:

  http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virtinst/virtinst-0.300.3.tar.gz

This release addresses a number of major bugs, and optimizes aspects of the
installation process. When probing for OS distro type it will test file 
existance, rather than fetching the entire file. RFC compliant NFS uris 
are now accepted & converted where needed. When probing for Red Hat distro
variants, look for the .treeinfo file to determine initrd/kernel locations.
Print user friendly error instead of stack traces, and hide bogus libvirt 
error messages from console. Add a --noreboot flag to virt-install to 
prevent the automatic reboot at end of installation. Use the libvirt 
capabilities XML to determine the guest types supported by a hypervisor.
Add --force option to prevent any interactive prompting.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release whether by testing,
bug reporting, submitting patches,  and otherwise sending feedback !

Regards,
Daniel.
