I am pleased to announce the release of netcf 0.1.1.

Besides many bugfixes, this release makes it possible to add bonds to
bridges, allows bridges with nothing enslaved, and lets you set the
forward delay of a bridge.

Detailed news:
  - Bridge: allow setting forward delay
  - Bridge: allow bridges with nothing enslaved
  - Bridge: allow enslaving a bond
  - Bond: properly translate numeric modes into textual modes
  - Lookup MAC's without regarding case (bz 512955)
  - Fix initialization of libxslt-1.1.24; this works around a threading bug
    in libxslt exposed by using netcf with libvirt (Daniel Veillard)
  - Print augeas initialization errors only when the environment variable
    NETCF_DEBUG exists (bz 513212)
  - Ignore the same backup etc. files ignored by the initscripts (bz 512950)
  - Search interface config files in the same manner as initscripts'
    need_config (bz 512950)
  - Only read/modify iptables and system-config-firewall when
    net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables sysctl is 1 (bz 517617)
  - Respect PREFIX in ifcfg file; if it's not there, continue to derive it
    from NETMASK
  - Properly propagate errors from running ifup/ifdown
  - ncf_define: fix removal of old interface config before redefining it
  - ncf_define: do not crash when defining a VLAN interface without a name
    (commit fb0543cc)
  - Move code around for upcoming SuSe driver (Jonas Eriksson)

[1] To verify the signature, first download both the .sig file and the
corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify netcf-0.1.1.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys FC6E8A22

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.
