[virt-tools-list] Help: I want to know when virt-manager will update and release new version to Ubuntu and redhat or other Distro.

[Kevin Zhao]

Hi Cole ,
How is the releasing work going? My workmates in IBM want to use 
released virt-manager to build the packages. Now the newest version is 
1.2.1 , so what is the next release dates? And what's the date that 
newest release version will cover the patches that have been committed ?
Thanks for your kindly response :-)
