|
(1) To see what's in the current release, read 'guestfs-release-notes(1)'.
|
|
|
|
(2) To see the list of bugs, read 'BUGS'.
|
|
|
|
(3) To understand libguestfs versioning, read this:
|
|

|
|
|
|
(4) For general "might be good to have" items, see 'TODO'.
|
|
|
|
For next major stable release (1.20)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Allow remote libvirt volumes to be accessed. This requires some
|
|
enhancements to libvirt which have been agreed but not yet
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
Bugs assigned to 1.20 (put "1.20" in the Devel Whiteboard field in
|
|
Bugzilla):
|
|
|
|
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&field0-0-0=cf_devel_whiteboard&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=FAILS_QA&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&bug_status=POST&bug_status=PASSES_QA&type0-0-0=anywords&value0-0-0=1.20&component=libguestfs&product=Virtualization%20Tools
|
|
|
|
Beyond 1.20
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* 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, by connecting to an existing appliance, and remotely over
|
|
ssh. Libvirt integration was originally planned for 1.10 but we
|
|
didn't get patches in time.
|
|
|
|
* 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:
