[xen-tools-discuss] xen-tools 4.6.2 (and 4.6.1) released

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

beginning of this week, I published the xen-tools bugfix release 4.6.2
and uploaded the signed[0] tar-ball[1] to the xen-tools.org website
and the Debian package to Debian Unstable.

I've actually prepared that release before christmas, but the release
testing did fail initially and after fixing the testing script (i.e.
no functional changes in the tools themselves), the release testing
didn't finish before I went on season's holidays. So the release
happened two weeks later than initially planned.

I also forgot to send an announcement mail for the bugfix release
4.6.1 from October, so I'll include its changes in this e-mail, too.


Changes from 4.6.1 to 4.6.2
===========================

Bug Fixes
---------

* Make t/hooks-inittab.t using its own copy of the generic
  /etc/inittab for testing instead of using the system one's. (GH#36,
  should fix autopkgtest on systems with modified /etc/inittab)
* Fix unescaped braces (deprecated since Perl 5.22) in
  t/plugin-checks.t.

Other changes
-------------

* Support for using pygrub from /usr/local/bin/pygrub.
* Typo fixes.


Changes from 4.6 to 4.6.1
=========================

Distribution Releases Changes
-----------------------------

* Preliminary support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus.

Bug Fixes
---------

* Fix Perl warning in t/hook-inittab.t if /etc/inittab isn't present.

Other Changes
-------------

* Declare GitHub as primary hosting.
* Integrate BUGS.markdown into README.markdown, move remaining
  contents of KNOWN_BUGS.markdown to the GitHub issue tracker.
* Minor README improvements.
* Neither use $#array in boolean context nor @array = undef anymore.

		Kind regards, Axel
