reviewing, testing, or providing any other feedback. Your work is
greatly appreciated.
* Security
* qemu: Enable client TLS certificate validation by default for ``chardev``,
``migration``, and ``backup`` servers.
The default value if qemu.conf options ``chardev_tls_x509_verify``,
``migrate_tls_x509_verify``, or ``backup_tls_x509_verify`` are not specified
explicitly in the config file and also the ``default_tls_x509_verify`` config
option is missing are now '1'. This ensures that only legitimate clients
access servers, which don't have any additional form of authentication.
* New features
* qemu: Implement OpenSSH authorized key file management APIs
New APIs (``virDomainAuthorizedSSHKeysGet()`` and
``virDomainAuthorizedSSHKeysSet()``) and virsh commands
(``get-user-sshkeys`` and ``set-user-sshkeys``) are added to manage
authorized_keys SSH file for user.
* hyperv: implement new APIs
The ``virDomainGetMaxMemory()``, ``virDomainSetMaxMemory()``,
``virDomainGetSchedulerType()``, ``virDomainGetSchedulerParameters()``,
``virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags()``, ``virDomainGetVcpus()``,
``virDomainGetVcpusFlags()``, ``virDomainGetMaxVcpus()``,
``virDomainSetVcpus()``, and ``virDomainSetVcpusFlags()`` APIs have been
implemented in the Hyper-V driver.
* Improvements
* virsh: Support network disks in ``virsh attach-disk``
The ``virsh attach-disk`` helper command which simplifies attaching of disks
without the need for the user to formulate the disk XML manually now
supports network-backed images. Users can specify the protocol and host
specification with new command line arguments. Please refer to the man
page of virsh for further information.
* Bug fixes
* remote: fixed performance regression in SSH tunnelling
The ``virt-ssh-helper`` binary introduced in 6.8.0 had very
poor scalability which impacted libvirt tunnelled migration
and storage volume upload/download in particular. It has been
updated and now has performance on par with netcat.
* Removed features
* hyperv: removed support for the Hyper-V V1 WMI API
This drops support for Windows Server 2008R2 and 2012.
The earliest supported version is now Windows 2012R2.
Enjoy.
