I'm happy to announce the release of virt-manager 0.10.0!

virt-manager is a desktop application for managing KVM and Xen virtual
machines via libvirt.

The release can be downloaded from:

The direct download links are:

This release includes:

- Merged code with python-virtinst. virtinst is no longer public
- Port from GTK2 to GTK3 (Daniel Berrange, Cole Robinson)
- Port from gconf to gsettings
- Port from autotools to python distutils
- Remove virt-manager-tui
- Remove HAL support
- IPv6 and static route virtual network support (Gene Czarcinski)
- virt-install: Add --cpu host-passthrough (Ken ICHIKAWA, Hu Tao)

To elaborate a bit on the first two:

* python-virtinst has been merged with virt-manager, and the virtinst
  library is no longer public. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
  following development over the last year. virt-manager now distributes
  the virtinst tools virt-install, virt-clone, virt-image, and virt-convert.

* virt-manager has been ported to GTK3 and several other modern gnome
  libraries. The newest version that have been tested are what is
  shipped with Fedora 18, so nothing less than a year old. This version
  may not work correctly on an older distro.


Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing,
bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback!

Thanks,
Cole
