[libvirt] Availability of libvirt-3.1.0

I'm a bit late but I finally pushed the release, the signed tarball and rpms are at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also pushed a libvirt-python release that one can find at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/python/ * New features - storage: Add Virtuozzo storage backend storage pool Add new storage backend to support pool and volume management within the Virtuozzo Storage environment. Virtuozzo Storage is a highly available distributed software defined storage with built-in replication and disaster recovery. - qemu: Add support for memory backing with file source Add support in numa topology for file source inside memory backing (hugepages are not needed) Three new elements <source/>,<access/> and <allocation/> were added to <memoryBacking/> element. Also new configuration parameter memory_backing_dir was added to qemu.conf. - network: make openvswitch call timeout configurable Adding the ability to specify the timeout value in seconds for openvswitch calls in the libvirtd configuration file. - bhyve: add e1000 NIC support Add support for e1000 NIC. Previously, the only available option was virtio-net. - libxl: add tunneled migration support Add tunneled migration to libxl driver, which is always capable of strong encryption and doesn't require any extra network connection other than what's required for remote access of libvirtd. - qemu: add rendernode argument Add a new attribute 'rendernode' to <gl> spice element. - nodedev: add drm capability Add a new 'drm' capability for Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) devices, providing device type information. - Add API for individual/specific vCPU hotplug The new API allows selecting specific vCPUs to be added/removed from the VM. The existing APIs allowed only adding/removing from the end which did not play well with NUMA. * Improvements - virsh: pool-list: allow both --uuid and --name in one command Adjust the virsh-pool command to support the --uuid and/or --name options in order to print just the --name and/or --uuid of pools. - Introduce MTU to domain <interface/> and <network> Allow setting MTU size for some types of domain interface and network. - libxl: improve support for <timer> configurations Add support for multiple timers. Extend the tsc timer to support the emulate mode. Improve conversion of timer XML to/from xl.cfg. - storage: modularize the storage driver Split up the storage driver backends into loadable modules so that binary distributions don't have to compromise on shipping the storage driver with all backends which may pull in too many dependencies. * Bug fixes - nodedev: Fabric name must not be required for fc_host capability fabric_name is one of many fc_host attributes in Linux that is optional and left to the low-level driver to decide if it is implemented. For example the zfcp device driver does not provide a fabric name for an fcp host. The requirement for the existence of a fabric name has been removed by making it optional. - bhyve: change address allocation schema for SATA disks Previously, the bhyve driver assigned PCI addresses to SATA disks directly rather than assigning that to a controller and using SATA addresses for disks. It was implemented this way because bhyve has no notion of an explicit SATA controller. However, as this doesn't match libvirt's understanding of disk addresses, the bhyve driver was changed to follow the common schema and have PCI addresses for SATA controllers and SATA addresses for disks. If you're having issues because of this, it's recommended to edit the domain's XML and remove <address type='pci'> from the <disk> elements with <target bus='sata'/> and let libvirt regenerate it properly. - libxl: maximum memory fixes Fix reporting of domain maximum memory. Fix setting dom0 maximum memory. - libxl: fix disk detach when <driver> not specified - libxl: fix dom0 autoballooning with Xen 4.8 - qemu: Allow empty script path to <interface/> Historically, this was always allowed. Unfortunately, due to some rework done for 1.3.2 release a bug was dragged in which suddenly stop allowing domain with such configuration to start. Thanks everybody for your contributions for this release, be it with code, bug reports, ideas, etc.... Enjoy the release !
