Name        : libvirt
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 0.9.6
Release     : 2.fc16
URL         : http://libvirt.org/
Summary     : Library providing a simple virtualization API
Description :
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The main package includes
the libvirtd server exporting the virtualization support.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This release modifies the PCI multifunction support to only enable
multifunction for a slot/function when explicitly requested
in the guest's XML config, and re-enables cgconfig for builds
on F15 (i.e. the F15-virt-preview build) because F15 didn't
yet have systemd.
This update has many enhancements and bugfixes relative to libvirt-0.9.4. Of particular note are many fixes related to taking snapshots of running domains, and many USB improvements (including USB2 support *if the running version of qemu supports it). Please see the upstream release documents for a full list.
