Hello, == Final 0.9 release == Thanks again to Daniel for quickly processing the pull request. 0.9~rc1 is now out and is hopefully the last milestone before we release the final 0.9.
Starting now, we'll only be taking bugfixes for 0.9, people should refrain from sending patches for new features until 0.9 is out. I'll do my best to stack all reviewed feature patches somewhere in my mailbox to process once 0.9 is out, but if you can refrain from sending them at all, that'd be great :) Depending on how stable 0.9~rc1 feels, I'm planning to send the final pull request as early as the 28th. However, I'd like to avoid sending it any later than the 3rd of April. == What's next == Now, once 0.9 is out, I'd like to start tackling a much trickier release, that of LXC 1.0. My current plan is to have this development cycle be much longer than that of 0.9 with a release around February 2014. Some of the things we've been discussing and that we should definitely consider for LXC 1.0: - Our own libvirt driver, based on liblxc - Full user namespaces support, allowing unprivileged users to start containers - Multi-threaded command socket, fixing the current limitation of a single lxc-wait being possible at a time - Complete and API-stable public C library with Python and Lua bindings. - Stable command socket protocol, minimizing the risk of breakage in future versions of LXC. - Redesigned storage backends, probably with some kind of plugin system, allowing the various tools to use them consistently. - Port our existing tools to use the public API themselves, making them good examples of how to use it. - More integration tests and unit tests in LXC itself. Those are just a few ideas I've been noting down over the past few months but I think cover quite a few of the recurring problems we've had and sound like very good targets for the 1.0 release. == Linux Plumbers 2013 == The longer dev cycle for 1.0, also means that Linux Plumbers 2013 will be roughly at the middle of it, which is pretty good as we're currently working on a one-day LXC mini-summit over there. The current draft proposal Serge and I put together is at: http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013:containers Plumbers 2013 will be from the 18th to the 20th of September in the New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. At least Serge and I are going and we'd love to see more LXC contributors show up over there for some face to face discussions. Thanks! -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com
