=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<11th June 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).
|
||
|
||
Inspecting guests that have duplicated root mountpoints now works.
|
||
|
||
Inspection of SUSE Linux guests using btrfs snapshots now ignores
|
||
snapshots that mirror content in the root filesystem (thanks Ming
|
||
Xie).
|
||
|
||
Inspection of SUSE Linux >= 15 now returns the correct osinfo short
|
||
name (eg. C<"sle15">) (thanks Ming Xie).
|
||
|
||
=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.
|
||
|
||
New C<btrfs_scrub_full> API which runs a full Btrfs scrub,
|
||
synchronously. It works more like fsck for other filesystems.
|
||
|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
The existing C<e2fsck> API has a new C<FORCENO> option enabling use of
|
||
the command line I<-n> flag.

||
|
||
=head2 Language bindings
|
||
|
||
Previously C<-L../lib/.libs> got embedded in the distributed OCaml
|
||
bindings. This has been fixed.
|
||
|
||
GObject bindings have been deprecated and will be removed in
|
||
S<libguestfs 1.58>.
|
||
|
||
=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).
|
||
|
||
C<zfs-fuse> support has been dropped. The project is unmaintained
|
||
upstream (thanks Paul Bolle, Gwyn Ciesla, Timothée Ravier).
|
||
|
||
Fix compatibility with GNU gettext 0.25.
|
||
|
||
=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.
|
||
|
||
Some internal OCaml List and String functions that we used have been
|
||
replaced by ones from the OCaml stdlib, reducing code maintenance.
|
||
|
||
If L<qemu-img(1)> commands fail during snapshot creation, make sure we
|
||
capture and print stderr from the qemu command (Cole Robinson).
