I'm happy to announce two new releases:

KVM and Xen virtual machines via libvirt.
virtinst 0.500.3: virtinst is a collection of command line tools for
provisioning libvirt virtual machines, including virt-install and
virt-clone.

The virt-manager release includes:
- Import install option: create a VM using an existing OS image
- Support multiple boot devices and boot order
- Watchdog device support
- Enable setting a human readable VM description.
- Option to manually specify a bridge name, if bridge isn't detected by
virt-manager
The virtinst release includes:
- virt-install: New --watchdog option: configure a virtual watchdog dev
- virt-install: New --soundhw option: More flexible sound configuration
deprecates --sound, though back compat is maintained
- virt-install: New --security option: configure VM security driver
- virt-install: New --description option: set a human readable desc
- Better OS defaults: Use <video> VGA and <sound> AC97 if supported
