sVirt Initial Prototype Release

James Morris requested[1] comments on an initial prototype of sVirt[2] v0.10. sVirt was first mentioned in FWN #138[3].

"The purpose of this release is to establish a proof of concept of applying security labels to VMs, and for discussion of the underlying technical approach.

With this release, it is possible to define a security label for a kvm/qemu domain in its XML configuration ('virsh edit'), launch the domain and have it transition to the specified security label ('virsh start'), then query the security label of the running domain ('virsh dominfo')."

Domain Events Support Completed

After round three[1], all the work Ben Guthro has been doing on domain events was finally committed. This major API addition led[2] Daniel Veillard to speculate the next release may jump to 0.5.0.

Domain events are only emitted from qemu/kvm guests.
