I'm pleased to announce the release of ruby-libvirt 0.4.0. ruby-libvirt is a ruby wrapper around the libvirt API. Version 0.4.0 brings new APIs, more documentation, and bugfixes:

  • Updated Domain class, implementing dom.memory_parameters=,
    dom.memory_parameters, dom.updated?, dom.migrate2,
    dom.migrate_to_uri2, dom.migrate_set_max_speed,
    dom.qemu_monitor_command, dom.blkio_parameters,
    dom.blkio_parameters=, dom.state, dom.open_console, dom.screenshot,
    and dom.inject_nmi

  • Implementation of the Stream class, which covers the
    libvirt virStream APIs

  • Add the ability to build against non-system libvirt libraries

  • Updated Error object, which now includes the libvirt
    code, component and level of the error, as well as all of
    the error constants from libvirt.h

  • Updated Connect class, implementing conn.sys_info, conn.stream,
    conn.interface_change_begin, conn.interface_change_commit, and
    conn.interface_change_rollback

  • Updated StorageVol class, implementing vol.download and vol.upload

  • Various bugfixes
