[Lxc-users] lxc 0.7.0 is out

[Daniel Lezcano]

Hi all,

Finally I released the 0.7.0 version.

This version provides a better support of system containers and has a lot
bug fixes.

The most noticeable change of this version is the support of the shutdown /
reboot of the container, and the templates creation used via the lxc-create
command. I don't expect the templates to work on all distro but hopefully
lxc's distro maintainers will make the adequate changes for the templates.

Thanks all for the contributions.
