Release notes for libguestfs 1.10.0
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
[Not complete. Last update commit e751293e10d5ecbb2ef43a61b9c153a1fc4f0304]
|
||||
|
||||
These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
|
||||
stable/dev branch split (1.8.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
|
||||
the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
New features
|
||||
|
||||
- [NOT DONE] --ro is now the default for guestfish.
|
||||
|
||||
- libguestfs and tools can be used against live virtual machines.
|
||||
See the 'guestfish --live' and 'guestmount --live' options, and (for
|
||||
the low-level interface) the new APIs set-attach-method and
|
||||
get-attach-method.
|
||||
|
||||
- New virt tools:
|
||||
virt-copy-in, virt-copy-out, virt-tar-in, virt-tar-out.
|
||||
|
||||
- You can now inspect the install disks and live CDs of many different
|
||||
operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
- guestfish <! cmd which executes a shell cmd and inlines the result.
|
||||
|
||||
- New event API allows more than one callback to be registered for
|
||||
each event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages,
|
||||
and allows nearly all log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted
|
||||
from stderr.
|
||||
|
||||
- A series of protocol fixes has fixed the old bug RHBZ#576879
|
||||
which used to cause errors during the upload command to lose
|
||||
protocol synchronization.
|
||||
|
||||
- Greater FHS compliance for temporary files, including using /var/tmp
|
||||
for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp).
|
||||
|
||||
- mkfs-opts allows filesystem features to be specified.
|
||||
|
||||
- More intelligent handling of mountpoints, allowing mkmountpoint, mount
|
||||
and umount-all commands to work together properly.
|
||||
|
||||
- Trace messages are prefixed with a distinct string, allowing them to
|
||||
be easily 'grepped' out from debug output.
|
||||
|
||||
- Publish example code in: C, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby.
|
||||
|
||||
- The Java and Ruby bindings have been improved greatly.
|
||||
|
||||
- Perl includes a way to get the errno of the last error.
|
||||
|
||||
- Transifex is now being used to manage translations.
|
||||
http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/libguestfs/
|
||||
|
||||
- Inspection now supports Red Hat Desktop, Slackware distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
- Inspection no longer fails for Windows guests that have two or
|
||||
more disks.
|
||||
|
||||
- Inspection can now tell the difference between Windows 2008 Server
|
||||
and Windows 7.
|
||||
|
||||
- New logo!
|
||||
|
||||
Security
|
||||
|
||||
New APIs

||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
inspect-get-product-variant,
|
||||
next-private,
|
||||
resize2fs-M,
|
||||
set-attach-method,
|
||||
|
||||
Internals
|
||||
|
||||
