I have just tagged v10.6.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed
tarballs to https://download.libvirt.org/
Please give the release candidate some testing and in case you find a
serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel
free to reply to this thread to make sure the issue is more visible.
If you have not done so yet, please update NEWS.rst to document any
significant change you made since the last release.
Thanks,
Jirka
The 10.5.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* Introduce SEV-SNP support
SEV-SNP is introduced as another type of ``<launchSecurity/>``. Its support
is reported in both domain capabilities and ``virt-host-validate``.
* Improvements
* tools: virt-pki-validate has been rewritten in C
The ``virt-pki-validate`` shell script has been rewritten as a C program,
providing an output format that matches ``virt-host-validate``, removing
the dependency on ``certtool`` and providing more comprehensive checks
of the certificate properties.
* qemu: implement iommu coldplug/unplug
The ``<iommu/>`` device can be now cold plugged and/or cold unplugged.
* Pass shutoff reason to release hook
Sometimes in release hook it is useful to know if the VM shutdown was
graceful or not. This is especially useful to do cleanup based on the VM
shutdown failure reason in release hook. Starting with this release the
last argument 'extra' is used to pass VM shutoff reason in the call to
release hook.
* nodedev: improve DASD detection
In newer DASD driver versions the ID_TYPE tag is supported. This tag is
missing after a system reboot but when the ccw device is set offline and
online the tag is included. To fix this version independently we need to
check if a device detected as type disk is actually a DASD to maintain the
node object consistency and not end up with multiple node objects for
DASDs.
* Bug fixes
* remote_daemon_dispatch: Unref sasl session when closing client connection
A memory leak was identified when a client started SASL but then suddenly
closed connection. This is now fixed.
* qemu: Fix migration with disabled vmx-* CPU features
Migrating a domain with some vmx-* CPU features marked as disabled could
have failed as the destination would incorrectly expect those features to
be enabled after starting QEMU.
* qemu: Fix ``libvirtd``/``virtqemud`` crash when VM shuts down during migration
The libvirt daemon could crash when a VM was shut down while being migrated
to another host.
Enjoy.
Jirka
