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

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),
