According to:

http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virNetworkLookupByUUID

virNetworkLookupByUUID() expects a virConnectPtr as its first argument,
thus making it a method of the virConnect Python class.

Currently it's a method of libvirt.virNetwork.

Introduce a new public API that provides a way to get progress
info on currently running jobs on a virDomainpPtr. APIs that
are initially within scope of this idea are

 virDomainMigrate
 virDomainMigrateToURI
 virDomainSave
 virDomainRestore
 virDomainCoreDump

These all take a potentially long time and benefit from monitoring.
The virDomainJobInfo struct allows for various pieces of information
to be reported

 - Percentage completion
 - Time
 - Overall data
 - Guest memory data
 - Guest disk/file data

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Add virDomainGetJobInfo
* python/generator.py, python/libvirt-override-api.xml,
  python/libvirt-override.c: Override for virDomainGetJobInfo API
* python/typewrappers.c, python/typewrappers.h: Introduce wrapper
  for unsigned long long type

adds a new python API call for retrieving the running
hypervisor version used by a connection: virConnectGetVersion

* python/generator.py: skip virConnectGetVersion from autogenerated
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c: define
  direct native bindings

Enable virDomainMemoryStats in the python API.  dom.memoryStats() will return a
dictionary containing the supported statistics.  A dictionary is required
because the meaining of each quantity cannot be inferred from its index in a
list.

* python/generator.py: reenable bindings for this entry point
* python/libvirt-override-api.xml python/libvirt-override.c: the
  generator can't handle this new function, add the new binding,
  and the XML description

* python/generator.py python/libvirt-override-api.xml
  python/libvirt-override.c: implement the bindings for
  virConnectListInterfaces() and virConnectListDefinedInterfaces()

There is currently no way to determine the libvirt version of a remote
libvirtd we are connected to. This is a useful piece of data to enable
feature detection.

* README: New file describing what each file is used for
* livvirt-override.c, libvirt-override.py, libvirt-override-api.xml,
  libvirt-override-virConnect.py: Manually written code overriding
  the generator
* typewrappers.c, typewrappers.h: Data type wrappers
* generator.py: Automatically pre-prend contents of libvirt-override.py
  to generated libvirt.py. Output into libvirt.py directly instead of
  libvirtclass.py. Don't generate libvirtclass.txt at all. Write C
  files into libvirt.c/.h directly
* Makefile.am: Remove rule for creating libvirt.py from libvirt-override.py
  and libvirtclass.py, since generator.py does it directly

Convert all the secret/storage encryption APIs / wire format to
handle UUIDs in raw format instead of non-canonical printable
format. Guarentees data format correctness.

* docs/schemas/storageencryption.rng: Make UUID mandatory for a secret
  and validate fully
* docs/schemas/secret.rng: Fully validate UUID
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h, include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in, Add
  virSecretLookupByUUID and virSecretGetUUID. Make
  virSecretGetUUIDString follow normal API design pattern
* python/generator.py: Skip generation of virSecretGetUUID,
  virSecretGetUUIDString and virSecretLookupByUUID
* python/libvir.c, python/libvirt-python-api.xml: Manual impl
  of virSecretGetUUID,virSecretGetUUIDString and virSecretLookupByUUID
* qemud/remote.c: s/virSecretLookupByUUIDString/virSecretLookupByUUID/
  Fix get_nonnull_secret/make_nonnull_secret to use unsigned char
* qemud/remote_protocol.x: Fix remote_nonnull_secret to use a
  remote_uuid instead of remote_nonnull_string for UUID field.
  Rename REMOTE_PROC_SECRET_LOOKUP_BY_UUID_STRING to
  REMOTE_PROC_SECRET_LOOKUP_BY_UUID_STRING and make it take an
  remote_uuid  value
* qemud/remote_dispatch_args.h, qemud/remote_dispatch_prototypes.h,
  qemud/remote_dispatch_ret.h, qemud/remote_dispatch_table.h,
  qemud/remote_protocol.c, qemud/remote_protocol.h: Re-generate
* src/datatypes.h, src/datatypes.c: Store UUID in raw format instead
  of printable. Change virGetSecret to use raw format UUID
* src/driver.h: Rename virDrvSecretLookupByUUIDString to
  virDrvSecretLookupByUUID and use raw format UUID
* src/libvirt.c: Add virSecretLookupByUUID and virSecretGetUUID
  and re-implement virSecretLookupByUUIDString and
  virSecretGetUUIDString in terms of those
* src/libvirt_public.syms: Add virSecretLookupByUUID and
  virSecretGetUUID
* src/remote_internal.c: Rename remoteSecretLookupByUUIDString
  to remoteSecretLookupByUUID. Fix typo in args for
  remoteSecretDefineXML impl. Use raw UUID format for
  get_nonnull_secret and make_nonnull_secret
* src/storage_encryption_conf.c, src/storage_encryption_conf.h:
  Storage UUID in raw format, and require it to be present in
  XML. Use UUID parser to validate.
* secret_conf.h, secret_conf.c: Generate a UUID if none is provided.
  Storage UUID in raw format.
* src/secret_driver.c: Adjust to deal with raw UUIDs. Save secrets
  in a filed with printable UUID, instead of base64 UUID.
* src/virsh.c: Adjust for changed public API contract of
  virSecretGetUUIDString.
* src/storage_Backend.c: DOn't undefine secret we just generated
  upon successful volume creation. Fix to handle raw UUIDs. Generate
  a non-clashing UUID
* src/qemu_driver.c: Change to use lookupByUUID instead of
  lookupByUUIDString

  hooks for the Xen Daemon
* python/libvir.c python/libvirt-python-api.xml python/generator.py:

  UUID strings can contain zeroes, so the autogenerated conversion
  functions don't work.
Daniel

  also fixing the binding for getting a domain UUID
* python/tests/Makefile.am python/tests/uuid.py: added a test
  for the new UUID API
Daniel

  the specs, the icons, the docs, etc ...

Daniel

  missing features like list of domains and domain info extraction
Daniel

  version for python bindings, heavilly based on libxml2/libxslt
  way of doing things, maybe this need to be revisited. Added packaging
  too.
