[Libvirt-announce] Release of libvirt-4.8.0
by Daniel Veillard
It is out, as planned, tagged in git, the signed tarball and rpms are
at the usual place:
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/
I also make a python binding release which include event testing updates,
you can find those at
ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/
This is a relatively large release considering the number of patches going in
please note the Removed Feature section below:
New features:
- Xen: Support PM Suspend and Wakeup
The libxl driver now supports the virDomainPMSuspendForDuration and
virDomainPMWakeup APIs.
Removed features:
- Xen: Drop support for Xen 4.4 and 4.5
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported by the Xen community. Drop
support for these older versions and require Xen >= 4.6.
- nwfilter: Disallow binding creation in session mode
Ensure that a filter binding creation is not attempted in session mode
and generates a proper error message.
Improvements:
- qemu: Retrieve guest hostname through QEMU Guest Agent command
QEMU is now able to retrieve the guest hostname using a new QEMU-GA
command called 'guest-get-host-name'. Virsh users can execute
'domhostname' for QEMU driver for domains configured to use the Guest
Agent.
- virsh: Implement vsh-table in virsh and virsh-admin
The new API fixes problems with table-alignment, making the tables more
readable and deals with unicode.
Bug fixes:
- storage: Allow inputvol to be encrypted
When creating a storage volume based on another volume, the base input
volume is allowed to be encrypted.
- virsh: Require explicit --domain for domxml-to-native
The --domain option for domxml-to-native virsh command has always been
documented as required, but commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 accidentally
made it optional.
- lxc_monitor: Avoid AB / BA lock race
A deadlock situation could occur when autostarting a LXC domain 'guest'
due to two threads attempting to take opposing locks while holding
opposing locks (AB BA problem).
Thanks everybody for your help with this release.
Enjoy !
Daniel
