RELEASE NOTES FOR GUESTFS TOOLS 1.48

       These are the release notes for guestfs tools stable release 1.48.  This describes the
       major changes since 1.46.

       Guestfs tools 1.48.0 was released on 14 March 2022.

   virt-builder
       New templates: "alma-8.5", "centosstream-8", "debian-11", "fedora-34", "fedora-34"
       (armv7l), "fedora-35" "fedora-35" (aarch64) (Lars Kaiser, Stef Walter).

       New fedora-34 (armv7l) template is built to use UEFI.

   virt-customize
       The yescrypt password hashing method is now supported (Björn Esser).

   virt-inspector
       Recognise "kalilinux", "kylin" and "msdos" operating systems / Linux distros (Laszlo
       Ersek).

       Inspection of LUKS encrypted filesystems placed directly on logical volumes is now
       supported, but you will need libguestfs ≥ 1.48 (Laszlo Ersek).

   virt-sysprep
       Add a new default operation called "net-nmconn" which removes NetworkManager connection
       profiles (Laszlo Ersek).

   virt-win-reg
       "virt-win-reg --version" now prints both the version of guestfs tools and the libguestfs
       library that it is linked with.

   Common changes
       All OCaml tools now suppress line wrapping when output is redirected to a file (to make it
       easier to parse logs with external programs).  There is a new --wrap option which can be
       used to reenable line wrapping to files if needed (Laszlo Ersek).

   Build changes
       Multiple fixes to make it easier to build against either the system installed libguestfs
       or a locally built libguestfs (Laszlo Ersek).

       Fix multiple OCaml warnings.  Remove some deprecated OCaml features.  We now require OCaml
       ≥ 4.04.

       Multiple fixes to valgrind support for glibc 2.35, OCaml 4.13 and libvirt 7.7.  "make
       check-valgrind" should now work.

   Internals
       New OCaml "On_exit" module (from libguestfs-common) is used instead of custom on-exit and
       signal handling.
