libvirt-glib comprises three distinct libraries:

• libvirt-glib – Integrate with the GLib event loop and error handling
• libvirt-gconfig – Representation of libvirt XML documents as GObjects
• libvirt-gobject – Mapping of libvirt APIs into the GObject type system

NB: While libvirt aims to be API/ABI stable forever, with libvirt-glib we are not currently guaranteeing that libvirt-glib libraries are permanently API/ABI stable. That said we do not expect to break the API/ABI for the forseeable future and will always strive avoid it.

Follow up comments about libvirt-glib should be directed to the regular libvir-list@redhat.com development list.

Thanks to all the people involved in contributing to this release.
