fixed appliances that can be copied to other machines that don't
|
||||
have febootstrap support

|
||||
guestfish:

Internals
|
||||
|
||||
- The debian/ subdirectory has been removed. We recommend you use
|
||||
the official Debian packages made by Hilko Bengen.
|
||||
|
||||
- O_CLOEXEC / SOCK_CLOEXEC is now used for almost all file
|
||||
descriptors that the library opens.
|
||||
|
||||
- Close all file descriptors and remove all signal handles in the
|
||||
recovery process.
|
||||
|
||||
- Multiple gcc warnings and Coverity bugs have been fixed. Many
|
||||
strict-overflow bugs have also been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use ./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon to use valgrind on the
|
||||
daemon. Many errors have been fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
- The daemon now has a growable strings buffer type
|
||||
(DECLARE_STRINGSBUF).
|
||||
|
||||
- The <guestfs.h> header file works with C++ and we have a regression
|
||||
test for this.
|
||||
|
||||
- Multiple APIs which should only be called in the CONFIG state now
|
||||
give an error if they are not.
|
||||
|
||||
- .gitignore fixed to use absolute paths
|
||||
|
||||
- gobject bindings have been expanded (thanks Matt Booth)
|
||||
|
||||
- gobject documentation is generated properly (thanks Matt Booth)
|
||||
|
||||
- CompareWithString test in the generator now works
|
||||
|
||||
- FUInt32, FUInt64 struct field types now use the correct XDR type
|
||||
|
||||
- OCaml tests are now run on bytecode and native code.
|
||||
|
||||
- java -Xlint:all is used, and all warnings have been fixed
|
||||
|
||||
- bmptopng, wrestool (etc) missing or failure no longer prints
|
||||
warning messages
|
||||
|
||||
- ruby: Use RbConfig instead of Config.
|
||||
|
||||
- Appliance building is now thread-safe.
|
||||
|
||||
- Appliance now uses 'ip' instead of 'ifconfig' and 'netstat'
|
||||
commands.
