Release of libvirt-8.7.0
by Jiri Denemark 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

The 8.7.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at https://libvirt.org/sources/ https://libvirt.org/sources/python/ Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches, reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly appreciated. * Removed features * qemu: Remove support for QEMU < 4.2 In accordance with our platform support policy, the oldest supported QEMU version is now bumped from 3.1 to 4.2. * New features * qemu: Add support for specifying vCPU physical address size in bits Users can now specify the number of vCPU physical address bits with the `<maxphysaddr>` subelement of the `<cpu>` element. * Improvements * esx: Domain XMLs can now be dumped for VMs with two new interface types One is when the interface is not connected anywhere `type='null'` and one when it is connected to VMWare Distributed Switch `type='vds'`. * Bug fixes * qemu: increase memlock limit for a domain with multiple vfio/vdpa devices When multiple vfio or vdpa devices are assigned to a domain, the locked memory limit could be too low to map memory for all devices. The memlock limit has been increased to be proportional to the number of vdpa/vfio devices. Enjoy. Jirka

[PATCH v1 15/25] Deprecate 32 bit big-endian MIPS
by Alex Bennée 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS which supports fewer architectures. For now: - mark it's deprecation in the docs - downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only - drop the cross builds from our CI Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take their chances building it.
