 - Add API for choosing network backend type
 - Add further test cases for validing domain builder
 - Always build test programs

The libvirt-designer library builds on top of the libvirt-gconfig and
libosinfo libraries, to provide an API that assists applications in
building guest domain configurations based on libosinfo policy. The
intention is that it be usable from applications such as virt-manager
and GNOME boxes which currently duplicate this kind of policy based
configuration logic between them. It is still at an early experimental
stage of development so it is liable to have further ABI incompatible
changes in future releases, which will require recompiling applications
and possibly source level changes too.

Thanks to all the people who contributed towards this new release.

Regards,
Daniel
