Hi Peter,

I am not currently running any release on a machine I have direct access to
right now.  However, according to Git, that release is 22 months old (unless
it's backported).  However, according to Git, the manual page was updated to
include it with virtinst 0.500.5

The current latest version is 0.600.0

It's up to you on what you'd like to do at this point.

Good luck!
