All,
     I'm pleased to announce release 0.9.0 of Oz. Oz is a program for
doing automated installation of guest operating systems with limited
input from the user.  Release 0.9.0 is a (long overdue) bugfix and
feature release for Oz. Some of the highlights between Oz 0.8.0 and
0.9.0 are:

    - Easier to create Debian/Ubuntu packages
    - Ability to specify the disk size in the TDL
    - Ability to specify the number of CPUs and amount of memory used
for the installation VM
    - Cleanup and bugfixes to oz-cleanup-cache
    - Ability to install Fedora-17 disk images
    - Ability to install guests as a non-root user.  This has several
caveats; please see the documentation on
http://github.com/clalancette/oz for more information.
    - Ability to install RHEL-6.3 disk images
    - Ability to install ScientificLinuxCERN disk images
    - Ability to install Mandrake 8.2 disk images
    - Ability to install OpenSUSE 10.3 disk images
    - Ability to install Ubuntu 12.04 disk images

A tarball of this release is available, as well as packages for
Fedora-16. Instructions on how to get and use Oz are available at
http://github.com/clalancette/oz .

If you have any questions or comments about Oz, please feel free to
contact aeolus-devel at lists.fedorahosted.org or me
(clalancette at gmail.com) directly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release through bug
reports, patches, and suggestions for improvement.

Chris Lalancette
