oVirt Engine version is 3.1.0-2.fc17
oVirt API/shell/tool version from yum is 3.1.0.6-1.fc17

Results from 'info' command in ovirt-shell:
[oVirt shell (connected)]# info

backend version: 3.1
sdk version    : 3.1.0.4
cli version    : 3.1.0.6
python version : 2.7.3.final.0

If the user level api isn't in 3.1, then I presume it would be in the nightly builds. Are there instructions for pulling the nightly builds and/or upgrading them. I saw the build instructions, but was hoping to save some time while evaluating things.
