  That's what is now usually called a brown paper bag release (dixit Linus) [*]
since 0.9.5 had broken shudown with the two last released versions of QEmu
0.9.6 should be available at the usual place:
   ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/

and obviously only contains a few bug fixes and local improvements.
People should not ship 0.9.5, and use 0.9.6 instead, thanks in advance !

Bug Fixes:
- snapshot: fix logic bug in qemu undefine (Eric Blake)
- sanlock: fix memory leak (Eric Blake)
- virsh: fix regression in argv parsing (Eric Blake)
- storage: Wait udev events are handled before removing lvm vol (Osier Yang)
- qemu: avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer (Alex Jia)
- qemu: Avoid loop of fake reboots (Jiri Denemark)
- qemu: Fix shutdown regression with buggy qemu (Jiri Denemark)
- remote: fix crash on OOM (Eric Blake)

Improvements:
- snapshot: also delete empty directory (Eric Blake)
- snapshot: remove snapshot metadata on transient exit (Eric Blake)
- snapshot: prepare to remove transient snapshot metadata (Eric Blake)
- virsh: More friendly err if no pool is specified for looking up a vol (Osier Yang)
