[ANNOUNCE] libguestfs 1.0.10

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I'm currently uploading libguestfs 1.0.10 to the site.

http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/
http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/files/

There have been a lot of changes (and indeed versions) out over the
past couple of days, but I'll try to summarise the major new features
added in the past week:

- C++ fixes and Java bindings (so now we support the following
    with equal status: C, C++, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby, Java
    and shell scripting)

- KVM support

- QEMU binary is completely configurable at compile & runtime

- ext4 support

- support for uploading and downloading arbitrary-sized files

- support for uploading and downloading tar and tar.gz content

- support for querying size of block devices, setting r/o

- support for reading ext2/3 superblocks

- stat, lstat, statvfs commands

- commands to mount filesystems read-only

- run arbitrary commands from the guest

- file(1) command

- readline in guestfish with history and tab completion

- guestfish 'edit' command

- big documentation improvements, including more on the internals

- pkgconfig file

- and dozens of bug fixes

Enjoy ...

Rich.

Woah - this is completely amazingly awesome.  It wasn't more than a  
couple of weeks ago this would have saved me hours of cursing; and  
that was just to solve a one-off problem.
