Also, supported backends are now reported in the domain + capabilities XML. + + * qemu: Require QEMU-5.2.0 or newer + + The minimal required version of QEMU was bumped to 5.2.0. + + * qemu: add a monitor to /proc/$pid when killing times out + + In cases when a QEMU process takes longer to be killed, libvirt might have + skipped cleaning up after it. But now a /proc/$pid watch is installed so + this does not happen ever again. + * **Bug fixes** + * virt-aa-helper: Allow RO access to /usr/share/edk2-ovmf + + When binary version of edk2 is distributed, the files reside under + /usr/share/edk2-ovmf. Allow virt-aa-helper to generate paths under that + directory. + + * virt-host-validate: Allow longer list of CPU flags + + During its run, virt-host-validate parses /proc/cpuinfo to learn about CPU + flags. But due to a bug it parsed only the first 1024 bytes worth of CPU + flags leading to unexpected results. The file is now parsed properly. + + * capabilities: Be more forgiving when decoding OEM strings + + On some systems, OEM strings are scattered in multiple sections. This + confused libvirt when generating capabilities XML. Not anymore. + v10.5.0 (2024-07-01) ==================== -- 2.44.2
