virt-sysprep is a new tool to make cloning guests from a template
|
||||
simpler.
|
||||
|
||||
guestfish:
|
||||
|
||||
- New commands setenv, unsetenv, to set environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
- The input file and line number is printed in error messages.
|
||||
|
||||
- guestfish progress bars are now a "mini-library" used by other
|
||||
tools too.
|
||||
|
||||
guestmount:
|
||||
|
||||
- the --live option (for access to live VMs) now works.
|
||||
|
||||
virt-cat:
|
||||
|
||||
- virt-cat can now handle Windows paths and drive letters (RHBZ#693359).
|
||||
|
||||
virt-filesystems:
|
||||
|
||||
- the MBR partition type byte is displayed in --long output.
|
||||
|
||||
virt-make-fs:
|
||||
|
||||
- virt-make-fs now sets the MBR partition type byte correctly,
|
||||
improving compatibility with Windows (RHBZ#746295).
|
||||
|
||||
virt-resize:
|
||||
|
||||
- virt-resize can now work with guests using extended and logical
|
||||
partitions, in particular Ubuntu guests.
|
||||
|
||||
- virt-resize can now align the first partition of Windows guests,
|
||||
improving performance. The new virt-resize --align-first option
|
||||
controls this behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
- The virt-resize --machine-readable flag makes it possible to use
|
||||
virt-resize from other programs.
|
||||
|
||||
- Partitions are now aligned to 128 sectors (usually 64K) by
|
||||
default. This improves efficiency on high-end storage. The new
|
||||
virt-resize --alignment option allows the alignment to be
|
||||
adjusted.
|
||||
|
||||
virt-win-reg:
|
||||
|
||||
- The syntax for deleting registry keys and values is documented
|
||||
in the man page (RHBZ#737944).
|
||||
|
||||
library:
|
||||
|
||||
- non-printing characters are escaped correctly in debug output.
|
||||
|
||||
- GUESTFS_EVENT_ENTER is a new event type generated whenever a
|
||||
libguestfs function is called.
|
||||
|
||||
- the library contains systemtap/DTrace probes.
|
||||
|
||||
- the library can now be compiled without hivex (RHBZ#723474).
