guestfs-release-notes - libguestfs Release Notes
=head1 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.56
These are the release notes for libguestfs stable release 1.56.
This describes the major changes since 1.54.
Libguestfs 1.56.0 was released on B<XXX XXX 2025>.
=head2 Inspection
Add support for Windows 2025 (thanks Ming Xie).
Add support for TencentOS (Denise Cheng).
Inspection of Ubuntu 22+ guests that use a split F</usr> configuration
now works properly (thanks Jaroslav Spanko, Daniel Berrange).
=head2 API
New C<command_out> and C<sh_out> APIs which allow you to capture
output from guest commands that generate more output than the protocol
limit allows.
The C<fstrim> API has been modified to work around several issues in
upstream and RHEL 9 kernels related to XFS support (Eric Sandeen, Dave
Chinner).
=begin comment
=head2 Tools
=end comment
=head2 Language bindings
Previously C<-L../lib/.libs> got embedded in the distributed OCaml
bindings. This has been fixed.
=head2 Build changes
json-c is now required. This replaces Jansson which was previously
used for parsing JSON input files.
OCaml E<ge> 4.08 is now required.
OCaml oUnit is no longer used.
We now assume that C<__attribute__((cleanup))> always works. This
requires gcc or Clang.
Fix compatibility with L<file(1)> E<ge> 5.46.
Fix compatibility with Fedora E<ge> 42 which merges F</usr/sbin> into
F</usr/bin>.
Fix compatibility with latest Rust compiler (Jacob Reger).
L<lex(1)>, L<yacc(1)> and libmagic (part of L<file(1)>) have not been
required by libguestfs for a long time, but were still checked by the
F<./configure> script. This has been fixed, they are no longer build
dependencies (thanks Mohamed Akram).
When using C<./configure --disable-daemon> we no longer require augeas
and hivex (thanks Mohamed Akram).
=head2 Internals
The tests were modified to use a set of common functions and remove
use of the weird C<$TEST_FUNCTIONS> macro, similar to how we do it in
nbdkit.
Fix dhcpcd failing on systemd-resolved stub (Thomas Wouters).
Add support for dhcpcd and sfdisk on Debian (Daniel Gomez).
Print the kernel utsname in debug output.
The legacy C<pvs_full>, C<vgs_full> and C<lvs_full> APIs were
completely rewritten in OCaml.
Some deprecated autoconf macros are no longer used.
We no longer emit a false warning about C<BLKDISCARD> when creating a
block device.
=head2 Bugs fixed
