Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

Mitre tried to assign us two separate CVEs for the fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047577, on the grounds that the fixes were separated by more than an hour and thus triggered different hourly snapshots. But we explicitly do NOT want to treat transient security bugs as CVEs if they can only be triggered by patches in libvirt.git but where the problem is cleaned up before a formal release. Meanwhile, I noticed that while our wiki mentioned maintenance branches and releases, our formal documentation did not. * docs/downloads.html.in: Contrast hourly snapshots with maintenance branches.

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.
