[ANNOUNCE] Version 1.0.56 released
by Richard W.M. Jones 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Just a note that I released version 1.0.56 yesterday. The main reason for doing a release was a large number of RHEL 5 fixes that allowed me to actually get an EPEL build out. The source is here: http://libguestfs.org/download/ and Fedora 11, 12 and EPEL 5 binaries are here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8391 There are some experimental, internal changes in this release which could do with testing. Amongst them: - tab completion in guestfish now completes files and devices on the filesystem being inspected (not in the host filesystem as before) [* this one could potentially cause crashes in guestfish - please test and report any problems! *] - a big change to the code generator so that in future we'll be able to add structures to the API much more easily - lots more regression tests, testing corner cases in the library <-> daemon protocol - you should be able to build in a separate directory (Matt Booth) - lots of changes to the Debian port (Guido Gunther) - lots of code cleanups (Jim Meyering) Full changelog: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=shortlog Rich. -- Richard Jones, Emerging Technologies, Red Hat http://et.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 75 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora
