The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4, with exception of a couple of newer APIs. The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags. Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be a better bet for users long term. [1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed real soon. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
