=head1 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.36
|
||||
|
||||
These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
|
||||
stable/dev branch split (1.34.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
|
||||
the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 New features
|
||||
|
||||
Bash completion is now available in every command line tool that is
|
||||
shipped.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 New tools
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 New features in existing tools
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 virt-v2v/virt-p2v
|
||||
|
||||
Conversions of Debian/Ubuntu guests are now supported
|
||||
(Tomáš Golembiovský, Pino Toscano).
|
||||
|
||||
Conversions from SUSE Xen have now been tested (Cédric Bosdonnat).
|
||||
|
||||
Windows conversions may now install a program C<pnp_wait.exe> which
|
||||
prevents conflicts between the Windows Plug-and-Play Manager and our
|
||||
own scripts that install virtio device drivers. Enabling this
|
||||
requires the C<pnp_wait.exe> program to be built separately
|
||||
(Roman Kagan).
|
||||
|
||||
OVA files exported from AWS can now be converted (Shahar Havivi).
|
||||
|
||||
Virt-v2v no longer removes the C<Processor> and C<Intelppm> nodes from
|
||||
the Windows Registry.
|
||||
|
||||
Xen and vCenter conversions can now be done using the libvirt backend,
|
||||
provided libvirt E<ge> 2.1.0 is used.
|
||||
|
||||
Ignore F</dev/srX> (SCSI CD-ROM) devices (Tomáš Golembiovský).
|
||||
|
||||
When converting SUSE Linux guests, use F</etc/modprobe.conf.local> if
|
||||
it exists.
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Language bindings
|
||||
|
||||
Setting C<EXTRA_JAVAC_FLAGS> before F<./configure> allows you to
|
||||
add arbitrary flags to C<javac> when compiling the Java bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Inspection
|
||||
|
||||
Inspection of btrfs subvolumes now works where the C</etc/fstab>
|
||||
options field contains commas.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Architectures and platforms
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Security
|
||||
|
||||
See also L<guestfs-security(1)>.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 API
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 New APIs
|
||||
|
||||
=over 4
|
||||
|
||||
=item C<aug_transform>
|
||||
|
||||
Exposes the Augeas C<aug_transform> API.

|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Other API changes
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Build changes
|
||||
|
||||
"Silent rules" are now used for OCaml programs, Java bindings. To
|
||||
show the full command line executed, add C<V=1> on the make command
|
||||
line (Pino Toscano).
|
||||
|
||||
Slow testing (C<make check-slow>) now covers: firstboot scripts in
|
||||
Linux guests; v2v conversion of a selection of real Linux guests;
|
||||
the virt-customize I<--hostname> and I<--timezone> settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Large generated C source files, eg. the list of commands found in
|
||||
F<fish/cmds.c> (and many more), have been split into smaller files to
|
||||
speed parallel compilation.
|
||||
|
||||
C<make maintainer-check-extra-dist> now checks that all generated
|
||||
files are included in the tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
The tests no longer assume that C<.> is in Perl's C<@INC>, as it is
|
||||
gong to be removed soon (Pino Toscano).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Internals
|
||||
|
||||
UEFI paths are now stored in the generator (F<generator/uefi.ml>).
|
||||
|
||||
The way the generator handles actions and procedure numbers was
|
||||
changed quite substantially. See F<generator/actions_*.ml> and
|
||||
F<generator/proc_nr.ml>.
|
||||
|
||||
The gnulib C<getprogname> module is now used everywhere when
|
||||
needing/printing the program name (Pino Toscano).
|
||||
|
||||
F<perl/Guestfs.c> is not translatable (Nikos Skalkotos).
