[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-1.3.1

[Daniel Veillard]

  As planned I just tagged the release in git and pushed signed tarball
and rpms to the usual place:

  ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/

 I also tagged and pushed a python release though there is no change from
1.3.0:

  ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/
