I am pleased to announce that a new release of the libvirt-glib package,
version 0.1.7, 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)

Changes in this release:

  - Fix memory leaks in domain memory setters
  - Add APIs for configuration sdl/rdp/desktop graphics modes
  - Add getter APIs for domain channel devices
  - Add getter APIs for storage pools
  - Add API for getting/setting virt type
  - Add getter APIs for storage pool schema
  - Add base framework for i18n of error messages
  - Fix annotation of gvir_init_object
  - Add getter/setter APIs for disk driver format
  - Add APIs for domain snapshot schema
  - Add APIs to access domain chardev source
  - Add API to access domain device aliases

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 forever, with libvirt-glib
we are not yet guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are API/ABI
permanently stable. As of the 0.0.8 release, we have tentatively frozen
the API/ABI with the intent of being longterm stable hereafter, but
there is still a small chance we might find flaws requiring an API/ABI
change. The likelihood of this is low, however, and we will strive to
avoid it.

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
