=head1 NAME
|
||||
|
||||
guestfs-release-notes - libguestfs Release Notes
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.50
|
||||
|
||||
These are the release notes for libguestfs stable release 1.50.
|
||||
This describes the major changes since 1.48.
|
||||
|
||||
Libguestfs 1.50.0 was released on B<XXX February 2023>.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Language bindings
|
||||
|
||||
Fix the PHP bindings for PHP8 (Geoff Amey).
|
||||
|
||||
Fix various deprecation warnings in the GObject bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
We no longer use the deprecated Python distutils library
|
||||
(thanks Miro Hrončok).
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Inspection
|
||||
|
||||
When listing the packages in RPM-based guests, the inspection API no
|
||||
longer checks package signatures. This is because the newer librpm
|
||||
used by libguestfs does not understand signatures stored in older
|
||||
guests, such as SHA1 used by RHEL 6 (thanks Panu Matilainen).
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_inspect_get_hostname> can now handle
|
||||
F</etc/hostname> files containing comments (thanks Dawid Zamirski).
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_file_architecture> can now parse files using zstd
|
||||
compression.
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_inspect_get_osinfo> now returns the correct
|
||||
osinfo field for Windows 11. However because of decisions made by
|
||||
Microsoft, these guests still return product name and other strings
|
||||
identifying as Windows 10 (thanks Yaakov Selkowitz, Yongkui Guo).
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 API
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 New APIs
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_device_name> is a new API to read the device name
|
||||
associated with a drive, for example calling this with C<0> will
|
||||
return C</dev/sda>.
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_clevis_luks_unlock> is a new API for unlocking
|
||||
disks using the Clevis/Tang network-based full disk encryption scheme.
|
||||
Furthermore implement this in guestfish and guestmount (Laszlo Ersek).
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_inspect_get_build_id> is a new API for reading
|
||||
the build ID from some Linux and Windows guests. It is not widely
|
||||
used on Linux, but for Windows it is vital for identifying Windows 11.
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Other API changes
|
||||
|
||||
In the L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_add_drive> API, the C<name> and C<iface>
|
||||
fields are not used. C<name> has not been used since around 2017, but
|
||||
the documentation has only just been updated to reflect this.
|
||||
C<iface> was never allowed for the libvirt backend and didn't work
|
||||
reliably with the direct backend (Laszlo Ersek).
|
||||
|
||||
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_readdir> is no longer limited to the maximum
|
||||
message size but can read a directory of any size (Laszlo Ersek).
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Build changes
|
||||
|
||||
B<Note> that the Augeas bindings for libguestfs are no longer bundled
|
||||
with libguestfs and must be built separately. See:
|
||||
L<https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/augeas/> For RHEL 7+ rebuilding
|
||||
the Fedora Rawhide package will work.
|
||||
|
||||
B<Note> that libguestfs now requires minimum OCaml 4.04. It will not
|
||||
compile on RHEL 6.
|
||||
|
||||
B<Note> that zstd is now a required dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
OCaml gettext is no longer a dependency of libguestfs. (Plain gettext
|
||||
is still optionally used to translate C source files.)
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for OCaml 4.14.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix build for missing stdlib functions in OCaml 4.04.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix C<./configure --disable-ocaml>. OCaml is still required to build
|
||||
libguestfs, but this now correctly disables the OCaml bindings of the
|
||||
API.
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for building on Artix, Rocky and Virtuozzo (Halil Tezcan
|
||||
KARABULUT, Neil Hanlon, Andrey Drobyshev). In addition when working
|
||||
out the local distro we now look at C<$ID_LIKE> in F</etc/os-release>
|
||||
before C<$ID> which helps on Arch (thanks S D Rausty).
|
||||
|
||||
Add preliminary support for compiling libguestfs on macOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Fix website description of cloning the libguestfs repository (Kashyap
|
||||
Chamarthy).
|
||||
|
||||
We no longer use glibc custom printf.
|
||||
|
||||
We no longer use C<LD_PRELOAD=libSegFault.so> in the appliance. This
|
||||
feature was removed in glibc 2.35.
|
||||
|
||||
We no longer use dtrace / systemtap probes.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Internals
|
||||
|
||||
Fix regression tests to use correct paths (Nikolay Shirokovskiy).
|
||||
|
||||
Various improvements to qcow2 appliance handling (Andrey Drobyshev).
|
||||
|
||||
Disable 5-level page tables in qemu. This avoids a bug in older
|
||||
versions of qemu.
|
||||
|
||||
Disable the LVM2 devicesfile in the appliance since it interferes with
|
||||
cloned LVs that have the same UUID (Laszlo Ersek).
|
||||
|
||||
Don't use C<-cpu max> on RISC-V as it is not yet supported by qemu's
|
||||
TCG emulation of that architecture. This will be reenabled when qemu
|
||||
gets support.
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid a rare hang that would happen when launching the appliance.
|
||||
This turned out to be caused by using the unsafe call L<setenv(3)>
|
||||
between fork and exec (thanks Siddhesh Poyarekar).
|
||||
|
||||
When running the file command inside the appliance we now disable
|
||||
seccomp since it interferes with processing compressed files (thanks
|
||||
David Runge, Toolybird).
