To bring the number of languages used + down, these scripts were rewritten into Python. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Probe for default CPU types + </summary> + <description> + With QEMU 4.2.0 we can probe for the default CPU model used by QEMU + for a particular machine type and store it in the domain XML. This + way the chosen CPU model is more visible to users and libvirt will + make sure the guest will see the exact same CPU after migration. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Adaptation to qemu's blockdev + </summary> + <description> + QEMU introduced a new way of specifying disks on the command line + which enables fine-grained control over the block stack. Libvirt has + adapted to this. + </description> + </change> </section> <section title="Bug fixes"> + <change> + <summary> + Warn verbosely if using old loader:nvram pairs + </summary> + <description> + Some distributions still use <code>--with-loader-nvram</code> or + <code>nvram</code> variable in qemu.conf. This is now discouraged in + favour of FW descriptors. However, instead of silently ignoring user's + config, libvirt warns if outdated config is detected. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Drop pconfig from Icelake-Server CPU model + </summary> + <description> + The pconfig feature was enabled in QEMU by accident in 3.1.0. All + other newer versions do not support it and it was removed from the + Icelake-Server CPU model in QEMU. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Wait longer for device removal confirmation on PPC64 + </summary> + <description> + After sending device hot unplug request to QEMU, libvirt waits up to + 5 seconds for qemu to confirm the device removal. On some + architectures (like PPC64) this can take longer time and libvirt now + reflects that. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Forcibly create nodes in domain's namespace + </summary> + <description> + The QEMU driver starts a domain in a namepsace with private + <code>/dev</code> and creates only those nodes there which the domain + is configured to have. However, it may have happened that if a node + changed its minor number this change wasn't propagated to the + namespace. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Various AppArmor bugfixes + </summary> + <description> + The AppArmor driver now knows how to handle + <code>&lt;shmem/&gt;</code> devices and also snapshotting more disks + at once. + </description> + </change> + <change> + <summary> + Improved video model autoselection + </summary> + <description> + If a graphics device was added to XML that had no video device, + libvirt automatically added a video device which was always of type + 'cirrus' on x86_64, even if the underlying qemu didn't support + cirrus.
