|
(3) To understand libguestfs versioning, read section
|
|
'LIBGUESTFS VERSION NUMBERS' of guestfs(3) man page.
|
|
|
|
(4) For general "might be good to have" items, see 'TODO'.
|
|
|
|
For next major stable release (1.14)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Bugs assigned to 1.14 (put "1.14" in the Devel Whiteboard field in
|
|
Bugzilla):

|
Beyond 1.14
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* Make 'guestfish --ro' be the default, and get users to use
|
|
'guestfish --rw' for write access (but allow the default to be
|
|
overridden in a configuration file). This was originally planned
|
|
for 1.10 but there's not nearly enough adoption of the new
|
|
'guestfish --rw' option out there to do this yet.
|
|
|
|
* Allow alternate methods to start the appliance, including through
|
|
libvirt and by connecting to an existing appliance. This was
|
|
originally planned for 1.10 but we didn't get patches in time.
|
|
|
|
* Deeper and wider support for progress messages. Many long-running
|
|
operations in guestfs-browser don't display progress messages, eg.
|
|
"du", "tar-in/out", because it's hard to estimate the runtime of
|
|
these commands.
|
|
|
|
* Better handling of partitions, including MBR extended partitions.
|
|
Write a new partition handling library to replace parted, and use it
|
|
instead of parted. (RHBZ#593511, RHBZ#642821).
|
|
|
|
* Hot plugging of disks using QMP. This would allow more efficient
|
|
reuse of the appliance in some circumstances: multiple disks
|
|
(ie. VMs) can be added in turn to the same appliance. In particular
|
|
this would help virt-df.
|
|
|
|
[Note this requires upstream work on QMP, see:
