14 DAY TRIAL // Libvirt, a collection of software tools that provide a convenient way to manage virtual machines and other virtualization functionality, such as storage and network interface management, is now at version 1.2.4.
Despite the fact that it looks just like another API, this is actually a very important library that can be found on the Linux platform. It's used in a number of different visualization technologies such as KVM, Xen, VMWare ESX, VirtualBox, and QEMU.
Libvirt 1.2.4 is just like all the other releases, and the developers have managed to implement a large number of fixes and new features, but unlike the previous version, a couple of more important options have been added.
According to the changelog, virfirewalltest and virsystemdtest are now linked against dbus, “index” is no longer used as variable name, a crash that occurred when removing <filterref> from the interface with update-device has been fixed, domain management has been fixed, a memory leak on NULL path has been corrected, and support has been added and QEMU migration can now use SASL authentication.
