targetcli.fb42, rtslib.fb58, and configshell.fb19

[Andy Grover]

Hi all,

It's been a while!

These are mostly bugfix releases, with some additional changes in 
targetcli for discovering available user-backed backstores. targetcli 
adds a runtime dependency on python-dbus. In the absence of userspace 
backstores -- highly likely since tcmu-runner is still in development -- 
everything should continue to work as before.

The other notable addition is xen_scsiback support in rtslib-fb. I 
haven't tried it. It should work, but I'd love for someone who uses Xen 
to try it out.

Dear Andy,

does this release include maybe NPIV support for qla2xxx? If not, are
you going to implement this?

Best regards,

Hi Tomasz,

No it doesn't. I know you've been asking for this for a long time and 
it's on my todo list, but I haven't had the chance yet.
