The 6.10.0 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 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. Jirka
