RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.26
These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
stable/dev branch split (1.24.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
New features
virt-diff(1) is a new tool for showing the differences between the
filesystems of two virtual machines. It is mainly useful when showing
what files have been changed between snapshots.

virt-builder(1) has been greatly enhanced. There are many more ways to
customize the virtual machine. It can pull templates from multiple
repositories. Includes an parallelized internal xzcat implementation to
speed up template uncompression. It uses an optimizing planner to
choose the fastest way to build the VM. (Thanks: Pino Toscano)

images.
Language bindings
API
Inspection
Inspection can recognize Debian live images.
Security
New APIs
For each struct, guestfs_copy_* and guestfs_compare_* functions are
generated to allow you to copy and compare structs.
Build changes
The following extra packages are required to build libguestfs 1.26:
supermin ≥ 5
Supermin version 5 is required to build this version of libguestfs.
flex, bison
Virt-builder now uses a real parser to parse its metadata file, so
these tools are required.
