Hey all, here are some notes and about Fedora and virt happenings for September.


  Fedora 20
  =========

After an additional week delay, the Fedora 20 alpha was released on
September 24th:

get it: http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
announce email:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2013-September/001248.html

I upgraded with yum and there were very few hiccups. Another solid alpha :)

The remaining F20 schedule:

  Fedora 20 virt test day
  =======================

The virt test day is next Tuesday, October 8th! The landing page is at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-08_Virtualization

If you can spare some time, please consider helping out. We will have
an F20 live cd you can use to test inside a virtual machine on F19,
no need to update. I'll send out a more elaborate pitch later this week.


  Libvirt 1.1.2
  =============

Libvirt 1.1.2 was released on September 2nd. Highlights:

- various improvements to libxl driver (Jim Fehlig, Bamvor Jian Zhang),
- systemd integration improvements (Daniel P. Berrange, Mooli Tayer),
- Add flag to BaselineCPU API to return detailed CPU features (Don Dugger),
- Introduce a virt-login-shell binary (Dan Walsh),
- conf: add startupPolicy attribute for harddisk (Guannan Ren)
