[Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] Ninth milestone release of RHEV-M REST API]

[Mark McLoughlin <ma...@redhat.com>]

Hey,

See the note below about API changes

>From looking at the code, it looks like the only change affecting
deltacloud is that the available VM type values are now 'server' and
'desktop'

Cheers,
Mark.

> Hi All,
> 
> We're happy to announce the ninth milestone release of the REST API
> for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.
> 
> 
> First of all, there are a number of API changes which may require
> existing clients to be updated:
> 
> 1. All client-supplied enums changed to lowercase, removed from the
>     schema and added to the capabilities resource
> 
>     For example, the available NIC types should now be queried from the 
>     capabilities resource:
> 
>       <capabilities>
>         <versions>
>           <version minor="2" major="2">
>             ...
>             <nic_types>
>               <nic_type>e1000</nic_type>
>               <nic_type>pv</nic_type>
>               <nic_type>rtl8139</nic_type>
>               <nic_type>rtl8139_pv</nic_type>
>             </nic_types>
>           ...
> 
> 2. The VM "highly available" property has been re-modelled (#229) e.g.
> 
>      <vm>
>         <high_availability>
>           <enabled>true</enabled>
>           <priority>100</priority>
>         </high_availability>
>       </vm>
> 
> 3. All statistics are now represented using xs:decimal instead of
>     xs:double
> 
> 4. The VM NIC IP properties have been removed because the information
>     is not actually available to RHEV-M yet (#257)
> 
> We understand the pain of handling API changes, but we're very close now
> to releasing version 1.0! We hope to release 1.0 on May 23 and declare
> the API stable. See:
