==== sVirt Initial Prototype Release ====
[[JamesMorris|James Morris]] requested[1] comments on an initial prototype of <code>sVirt</code>[2] v0.10.
<code>sVirt</code> 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')."

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

"The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind
Fedora as you might think. The {{package|libvirt}} mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was
rebased to be near parity with [[Releases/11|Fedora 11]], and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is
also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of
kvm-83 and kvm-84."


Domain events are only emitted from qemu/kvm guests.

RHEL and Fedora Virtualization Feature Parity

Robert Day wondered how the virtualization features[1] of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 compared to Fedora 12.

Daniel Berrange explained[2] "The KVM based virtualization in RHEL-5.4 is not nearly so far behind Fedora as you might think. The Package-x-generic-16.pnglibvirt mgmt stack in RHEL-5.4 was rebased to be near parity with Fedora 11, and KVM in RHEL-5.4 is also pretty close to that using what's best described as a hybrid of kvm-83 and kvm-84."
