=head2 Inspection
|
|
|
|
Add detection of Circle Linux (Bella Zhang).
|
|
|
|
Add support for LoongArch (liuxiang).
|
|
|
|
Add detection of Kylin (grass-lu).
|
|
|
|
Add detection of openEuler (Wang Guoquan).
|
|
|
|
C<PARTUUID> and C<PARTLABEL> are now resolved in guest F</etc/fstab>.
|
|
|
|
=head2 API
|
|
|
|
B<New APIs> C<findfs_partuuid> and C<findfs_partlabel>. These can be
|
|
used to efficiently look up a filesystem by its GPT partition UUID or
|
|
label.
|
|
|
|
Support for the following inactive or infrequently used device
|
|
types has been B<removed>: Gluster, Sheepdog, TFTP.
|
|
|
|
Add GOST R34.11-94 message digest algorithm to checksum APIs (Alexey
|
|
Shabalin).
|
|
|
|
Allow C<nbd+unix://> URIs (NBD over Unix domain socket) in guestfish
|
|
and other places.
|
|
|
|
Various C<part_*> (partition) APIs related to GPT have been
|
|
reimplemented to use util-linux sfdisk instead of sgdisk. Util-linux
|
|
is more widely available, so this reduces dependencies in the common
|
|
case. One optional API remains that still uses sgdisk. (Thanks
|
|
Yongkui Guo).
|
|
|
|
Add C<cipher> suboption to C<cryptsetup_open>
|
|
(Jonatan Pålsson).
|
|
|
|
Because of a bug, the C<part_get_gpt_attributes> API could truncate
|
|
the return value from 64 to 32 bits. This has been fixed.

=head2 Build changes
|
|
|
|
Fix btrfs compatibility with kernel changes in Linux 6.7.
|
|
|
|
Removed some compatibility code for versions of util-linux (sfdisk)
|
|
prior to 2014.
|
|
|
|
Pass CFLAGS through when building the Perl bindings. In particular
|
|
this means that I<-g> should be passed through correctly, enabling
|
|
debugging symbols.
|
|
|
|
Fix build on macOS (Antonio Caggiano).
|
|
|
|
=head2 Internals
|
|
|
|
Libguestfs will now no longer recommend using
|
|
C<LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct>. This was shown previously when libvirt
|
|
failed to start the appliance. However it is felt that this now does
|
|
more harm than good.
|
|
|
|
Fix generation of virt-customize I<--chown> parameter (Yongkui Guo).
|
|
|
|
In the appliance, reduce boot time when dhcp isn't needed (Olaf
|
|
Hering).
|
|
|
|
A deadlock in the appliance caused by a regression in Linux 6.11 has
|
|
been worked around. The deadlock was also fixed in Linux 6.12.
