RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.24

       These release notes only cover the differences from the previous stable/dev branch split
       (1.22.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see the git repository, or the ChangeLog file
       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
       User-Mode Linux (UML) can be used as an alternative backend (ie. instead of KVM).  This
       improves performance especially when using libguestfs inside a VM (eg. in the cloud).  UML
       is supported as a first-class backend.  See "USER-MODE LINUX BACKEND" in guestfs(3) for
       how to use this.

       ARM (32 bit) and PPC64 are now fully supported.

       Інструменти

       virt-builder(1) is a new tool for building virtual machine images.  It lets you rapidly
       and securely create guests and customize them.

       New virt-sysprep(1) operations: Remove files in "/tmp" and "/var/tmp".  Remove RPM
       database files.  Change root and user passwords.  More log files are removed.  New
       operations which are not enabled by default: Create random UUIDs for filesystems.  Reset
       firewall rules.  (Wanlong Gao)

       virt-resize(1) and virt-sysprep can now use URIs to specify a remote disk.

       Use "guestfish -N filename=type" to create a named disk image (instead of the default
       "test1.img" etc).

       virt-sparsify(1) now tests if there is enough disk space to complete the operation,
       instead of possibly running out of space half way through.

       virt-format(1) and virt-make-fs(1): new --label option for setting filesystem label.

       virt-resize --no-sparse flag can be used to resize on to partitions and other targets that
       are not zeroed.

       Прив’язки до мов програмування

       New bindings for the Go programming language.

       API

       Support for the systemd journal.

       "guestfs_add_drive_opts" can now control the qemu caching mode through a new "cachemode"
       parameter.  You can select improved performance for temporary drives, or safety.

       "guestfs_set_label" now works for XFS and btrfs.

       New GUESTFS_EVENT_WARNING event for warning messages.

       Inspection

       Better inspection of SUSE guests (Olaf Hering).

       Better support for non-standard Windows %systemroot% (Matthew Booth).

       Enhanced error reporting for Augeas errors.

       CVE-2013-2124
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=968306

           A denial of service was possible when inspecting certain guests.  The fix has been
           backported to 1.20 and 1.22 branches.

       CVE-2013-4419
           https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-October/msg00031.html

           Fix insecure temporary directory handling for remote guestfish.  The fix has been
           backported to 1.20 and 1.22 branches.

       "is-file", "is-dir", "is-blockdev", "is-chardev", "is-fifo", "is-socket" APIs now have an
       extra "followsymlinks" flag.

       "add-drive" has a new "cachemode" parameter.

   Build changes
       The following packages are required to build libguestfs 1.24:

       Augeas ≥ 1.0.0

       The following optional packages may be added to enhance functionality but are not
       required:

       sd-journal
           To read journal files from guests which use that.

       url_mkcow
           For UML backend.

       curl
       gpg
       xz  For virt-builder.

       golang ≥ 1.1.1
           For Go language bindings.

   Внутрішня частина роботи програми
       New "make check-*" rules replace "make extra-tests".  See "make help" and guestfs(3) for
       details.

       Perl code can now be valgrinded.

       Inspection code is now fuzz-tested.

       "make" no longer recurses into the generator directory in every other directory.  This
       reduces the overhead of builds considerably.

       Additional tests for Augeas, hivex.

       Add a launch timeout of 20 minutes waiting for the appliance to start up.

       Add a timeout (4 hours) to all tests so we can catch the case where qemu or other
       components hang.

       Use kvmclock and "-cpu host".  This improves clock stability and overall performance.

       "./configure --enable-packet-dump" mode is fixed.

       "./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon" mode has been rewritten.  It is now feasible for
       developers to keep this flag enabled at all times.

       Backends have been refactored to be modular (although they are not actually loadable
       modules).

       When enabled, the network now uses resolver configuration (ie. /etc/resolv.conf) from the
       host.

       These release notes only cover the differences from the previous stable/dev branch split
       (1.20.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see the git repository, or the ChangeLog file
       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
       API

       Віддалений доступ до таких дисків:

       •   Network Block Device (nbd)

       •   Secure Shell (ssh)

       •   HTTP та HTTPS

       •   FTP та FTPS

       •   iSCSI

       •   Gluster

       •   Ceph/rbd (Mike Kelly)

       •   Sheepdog

       •   TFTP

       The SYSLINUX and EXTLINUX bootloaders can now be installed in disk images using the API.

       Inspection can now handle filesystems such as btrfs where subvolumes are separately
       mountable (Matthew Booth).

       "Attach methods" are now known as "backends".  Compatibility with existing code is
       preserved.

       Filenames can contain ':', as long as newer QEMU is being used.

       Інструменти

       Virt-alignment-scan and virt-df scan multiple guests in parallel.

       Guestmount now passes errno accurately back to userspace in almost all cases.

       Guestfish and other tools can now use a URI-like syntax to access remote disks, eg:

        guestfish -a ssh://example.com/path/to/disk.img

       Guestfish and guestmount now allow you to specify the filesystem type when mounting, which
       is more secure (Dave Vasilevsky).

       Guestfish is now the "guest filesystem shell".

       Guestfish allows only 1 "true" "t" "yes" "y" "on" 0 "false" "f" "no" "n" "off" for boolean
       values (case insensitive), and gives an error for all other strings.

       New tool "guestunmount" for unmounting FUSE filesystems safely.

       "guestmount --no-fork" flag prevents guestmount from daemonizing.

       Virt-resize now uses sparse copies by default, saving considerable space for guests which
       are mostly empty.

       Bash tab completion has been rewritten and can now handle most tools, and correctly tab-
       complete "--long" options.  In addition, bash completion scripts are loaded on demand.

       Прив’язки до мов програмування

       The Java API now supports events.

       The Python object now inherits from the "object" base class.

       Python methods which previously returned lists of tuples can now be made to return a
       Python dict.  For backwards compatibility, you have to enable this by using the
       constructor option "guestfs.GuestFS (python_return_dict=True)".

       The PHP bindings are now tested properly, and have had multiple fixes.

       The long-deprecated Perl "Sys::Guestfs::Lib" library has been removed.

       The febootstrap tool has now been renamed to "supermin".  Libguestfs can use either, but
       now prefers "supermin".  http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/supermin/

       libxml2 is required to build libguestfs.

       The hivexregedit program (from hivex) is required to build from git.

       Internal functions can no longer be used unless the caller defines "-DGUESTFS_PRIVATE=1".

       Enable C compiler warnings in Python, Ruby bindings.

       Fail early and clearly if libvirt does not support qemu/KVM (eg. if default libvirt
       connection is to Xen).

       "make print-subdirs" rule, useful for selectively running tests.

       Multiple fixes to allow separated (sourcedir != builddir) builds.

       Декілька виправлень у прив’язках до Haskell.

       "ln" and "ln-f" APIs now capture "errno" correctly.

       Language binding tests use (mostly) a standard numbering scheme and aim to test the same
       range of features in each language.  Also the number of launches required has been reduced
       so these tests should run much more quickly.

       Library code internally uses GCC "__attribute__((cleanup))" (if available) to simplify
       memory allocation.

       Internal header files have been reorganized.  See the comments in
       "src/guestfs-internal*.h"

       Internal code shared between the library and certain tools is now located in a static
       "libutils" library.

       Almost all subdirectories can now use parallel builds, although note that the top-level
       directories still build in series.

       Use of "PATH_MAX" and "NAME_MAX" has been eliminated from the code.

       The Java API now requires JVM ≥ 1.6.

       Force use of "serial-tests" with automake ≥ 1.12.

       Use of sockets in the library protocol layer is abstracted, allowing other non-POSIX
       layers to be added in future (see "src/conn-socket.c").

       "qemu-img info --output json" is used if available, for more secure parsing of the output
       of this command.

       Distros can now use "make INSTALLDIRS=vendor install" to place Ruby bindings in vendordir.
       This eliminates a non-upstream patch carried by both Fedora and Debian.

       Valgrind log files are now written to "tmp/valgrind-DATE-PID.log"

       "make clean" cleans the local "tmp/" directory.

       The C API tests have been rewritten using a more flexible generator language that allows
       arbitrary C code to be executing during tests.

НОТАТКИ ЩОДО ВИПУСКУ LIBGUESTFS 1.20

       These release notes only cover the differences from the previous stable/dev branch split
       (1.18.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see the git repository, or the ChangeLog file
       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
       libvirt і sVirt (контейнер SELinux)

       You can optionally use libvirt to launch and manage the backend appliance by:

       •   встановленням "LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD=libvirt[:URI]"

       •   за допомогою "./configure --with-default-attach-method=libvirt[:URI]"

       •   or calling the API method "guestfs_set_attach_method"

       SVirt (SELinux confinement) is used to secure the libguestfs appliance, if the libvirt
       backend is selected.

       virtio-scsi, larger number of drives, hotplugging

       Virtio-scsi is now used by default, if it is available.  This greatly increases the number
       of drives that can be added to a single libguestfs handle (up to 255).

       You can now hotplug drives (add and remove drives after launch).

       Libguestfs can now handle > 25 disks, in all APIs, tools and tests.

       You can label drives when adding them, then refer to them by label
       ("/dev/disk/guestfs/LABEL") instead of having to use device names ("/dev/sda").

       new library features

       POSIX Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Linux filesystem capabilities can now be read and
       written through the API.

       Windows Dynamic Disks are now supported.  The metadata can only be read (volumes cannot be
       modified or created).  However the data/filesystems in the volumes themselves can be
       mounted, read and written (Matthew Booth).

       Hivex (Windows Registry editing) is now directly supported through the API, making reading
       or editing the Windows Registry much more efficient.

       Several libguestfs APIs were reimplemented so they no longer have any limits on output.
       The reimplemented APIs are: "guestfs_cat", "guestfs_find", "guestfs_read_file",
       "guestfs_read_lines", "guestfs_write", "guestfs_write_append", "guestfs_lstatlist",
       "guestfs_lxattrlist", "guestfs_readlinklist", "guestfs_ls".

       virt tools

       "guestfish touch 'win:c:\new_file'" now works as expected.

       "guestfish" has a new --network option, which enables the user network in libguestfs.

       You can set "GUESTFISH_PS1" to use fancy prompts in "guestfish".

       "rsync", "ssh", "less" and "lrzip" commands are now available in virt-rescue.  In
       addition, "rsync" can be used through the API for doing incremental copies.

       "virt-sparsify" uses qcow2 v3 for increased efficiency.

       "virt-sysprep" enhancements:

       •   generate new UUIDs for PVs and VGs

       •   remove the local machine ID (Wanlong Gao)

       •   remove ABRT data (Wanlong Gao)

       •   remove puppet keys and log files (Wanlong Gao)

       •   remove process accounting files (Wanlong Gao)

       •   new --firstboot parameter allowing firstboot scripts for customizing guests

       •   remove HOSTNAME field from "ifcfg-eth*" files (Wanlong Gao)

       •   miscellaneous improvements for SuSE (Olaf Hering)

       •   remove man pages cache (Wanlong Gao)

       •   remove crash data generated by kexec-tools (Wanlong Gao)

       "virt-make-fs" can now create virtual floppy disks (VFDs).

       "guestmount" has a --pid-file option, which can be used to avoid a race condition between
       unmounting the filesystem and using the underlying disk image.

       прив’язки до мов програмування

       Full-featured Lua bindings have been added in this release (thanks to Jerome Vuarand for
       many suggestions).

       In Ruby, optional arguments hash is optional.

       In Python, optional arguments now don't use special "sentinel" values, so any integer can
       be passed as an optional argument.

       Erlang bindings now come with examples and tests.

       Erlang bindings now handle 64 bit integer parameters correctly.

       The automated 'bindtests' now test for 64 bit cleanliness in parameter passing.  Several
       bugs in the bindings were found and fixed as a result.

       Better handling of blocking and non-blocking functions should make libguestfs calls more
       efficient.

       inspection

       Windows guests with unlimited-sized Registries are now supported.  By adding the hivex API
       to the libguestfs API, it is much more efficient and easier to inspect and modify the
       Windows Registry in guests.

       Better support for SuSE guests (Olaf Hering).

       Return the architecture of installed applications (John Eckersberg).

       Windows 8 is now supported.

       Тепер підтримується Fedora 18.

       Inspection of ISOs/CDs/DVDs can now use the libosinfo database.

       порти

       Libguestfs without the appliance can be compiled on Mac OS X (Masami HIRATA).

       RHEL 5 is now explicitly supported through the 'oldlinux' branch in upstream git.

       PowerPC 64 bit is now supported.  Also libguestfs has been examined for endianness bugs
       and these have been fixed.

       фонова служба

       A man page for the daemon (guestfsd(8)) is included.

       guestfish history file

       The "$HOME/.guestfish" history file is now created with 0600 permissions (instead of 0644
       before) so it is no longer world readable.

       CVE-2012-2690

       Old versions of both "virt-edit" and the "guestfish" "edit" command created a new file
       containing the changes but did not set the permissions, etc of the new file to match the
       old one.  The result of this was that if you edited a security sensitive file such as
       "/etc/shadow" then it would be left world-readable after the edit.

       Цій ваді було надано код CVE-2012-2690. Її було виправлено у libguestfs ≥ 1.16.

       In the C API only:

        guestfs_push_error_handler
        guestfs_pop_error_handler

   Внутрішня частина роботи програми
       qemu ≥ 1.1 is required (≥ 1.2 preferred).

       febootstrap ≥ 3.20 is required.

       libvirt is optional, but if you want to use the new libvirt backend for launching the
       appliance then libvirt ≥ 0.10.2 would be required.

       Coverity has been run over the complete codebase, and many issues fixed (thanks Ondrej
       Vasik, Kamil Dudka).

       Functions which previously had no optargs can now be converted to ones with optargs,
       making extending the API much more flexible.  Source and binary backwards compatibility is
       preserved for users of the API.

       The way that libguestfs APIs and structures are represented in the generator has changed
       to use an OCaml struct instead of a tuple.  This makes generator descriptions more
       flexible and easier to understand.  For details see commits 39d1a7db and eb185eef.

       Separation of the library code into more files:

       •   Launch backends are now located in separate files eg. "src/launch-appliance.c",
           "src/launch-libvirt.c".

       •   Generated action code is now split over several "src/action*.c" files, for faster
           compilation.

       •   The huge "src/guestfs.c" file is now split into smaller logical units.

       POD (documentation) is now generated using a rewritten Perl program instead of pod2* +
       shell scripts.

       Man pages now contain stable dates (Hilko Bengen).

       Skipped tests now exit with code 77, so they appear as "SKIP:" in "make check" output.

       The parallel mount-local test has been rewritten in C (RHBZ#838081).

       Ruby 1.8.5 is now supported (though Ruby ≥ 1.9 is preferred).

       Perl bindings can be disabled via "./configure --disable-perl" (Wulf C. Krueger).  Note
       that Perl is still required in order to build libguestfs.

       Java bindings are now enabled/disabled using "./configure --with-java" or "./configure
       --without-java" (Wulf C. Krueger).

       Нові параметри налаштування: "./configure --enable-code-profiling" і "./configure
       --enable-code-coverage".

       Multiple fixes to use of 64 bit integers in language bindings.

       The appliance backend now uses sgabios instead of vgabios (Dan Berrange).

       The "./run" script now sets enough environment variables that you can run OCaml, Python,
       Ruby, Java, GJS, Erlang, Lua programs.

       "./run --test" flag for running tests with minimal output.  It also prints the time taken
       to run each test.

       The "./run" script now builds up paths cumulatively, meaning that you can use "./run"
       twice, or use the libguestfs and libvirt "./run" scripts together.

       You can extract a list of external commands required by the daemon, making building the
       appliance on certain distros easier (Olaf Hering).

       The "virt-rescue" command is now tested during "make check".

       The generator now removes unused generated files.  This helps when going back and forth
       with git rebase, git bisect, etc.

       Tests now run in a separate toplevel "tmp/" directory in the source.  This allows the
       directory to be labelled for SELinux (sVirt), and also makes it easier to clean up.

       "make syntax-check" now works to a greater extent, and many problems in the main code that
       were found by syntax-check have been fixed (thanks Jim Meyering).

       Emacs mode (-*- foo -*-) has been added to generated files.

       Progress bar output is now sent to "/dev/tty" so it doesn't end up in the regular output
       of the program.  virt-resize and virt-sparsify now suppress progress bars if stdout is not
       a tty.

       There is now a "./configure --without-libvirt" option.  This is useful for testing that
       the code still compiles without libvirt.

       There is now an internal mini-library for running commands.  This allows us to redirect
       errors from external commands into events.

       Code for handling temporary directories and the appliance cache was completely overhauled.

       Code for temporarily ignoring/disabling errors now looks like this:

        guestfs_push_error_handler (g, NULL, NULL);
        guestfs_mkdir (g, "/foo"); /* We don't care if this fails. */
        guestfs_pop_error_handler (g);

       The "tests/extra" directory has gone.  The "extra tests" are now split into separately
       runnable targets, such as "make check-valgrind".  Use "make help" to get a summary of the
       targets.

       The "lpj" option is passed to the appliance kernel when using TCG.  This should improve
       clock stability (thanks Marcelo Tosatti, Olaf Hering).

         The various test directories have been rearranged logically, and now
         all appear under 'tests/'.

         There is a 'make extra-tests' rule which runs ordinary tests and
         additional tests, using valgrind to check for memory problems.

         Multiple memory leaks and other problems found by valgrind and fixed.

         Support for optional arguments in the generator has been rewritten
         to provide more features and safety (Matthew Booth).

         With gcc -fvisibility=hidden is used for internal symbols, avoiding
         call indirection via the PLT.

         RHashtable functions can be tested in the generator.

         ADD_ARG macro in daemon allows arg lists to be constructed without
         risk of stack smashing.

         Fix generation of OCaml functions that have more than 10 arguments.

       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
         прив’язки до Erlang.

         virt-alignment-scan is a new tool to check the alignment of
         partitions within virtual machines or disk images.

            controls this behaviour.

          - The virt-resize --machine-readable flag makes it possible to use
            virt-resize from other programs.

          - Partitions are now aligned to 128 sectors (usually 64K) by
            default.  This improves efficiency on high-end storage.  The new
            virt-resize --alignment option allows the alignment to be
            adjusted.

       virt-win-reg

          - The syntax for deleting registry keys and values is documented
            in the man page (RHBZ#737944).

        - Coverity was run on the source and more bugs were identified and
          fixed.

        - PCRE library is now required to build libguestfs.

        - APIC is now the default for the appliance.  You can also enable
          SMP support in the appliance.

          don't write zeroes, so that we don't unnecessarily make the
          underlying storage non-sparse.

        - is-zero, is-zero-device APIs: optimize these so zero detection is
          faster.

       These release notes only cover the differences from the previous stable/dev branch split
       (1.8.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see the git repository, or the ChangeLog file
       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
        - libguestfs and tools can be used against live virtual machines.
          See the 'guestfish --live' and 'guestmount --live' options, and (for
          the low-level interface) the new APIs set-attach-method and
          get-attach-method.

        - New virt tools:
          virt-copy-in, virt-copy-out, virt-tar-in, virt-tar-out.

        - libguestfs can get the drive letter mappings for Windows guests.

        - virt-inspector displays drive letter mappings for Windows guests.

        - Drive letters can now be used in virt-edit and guestfish programs
          when operating on Windows guests.

        - virt-resize now works on 32 bit hosts.

        - You can now inspect the install disks and live CDs of many different
          operating systems.

        - guestfish <! cmd which executes a shell cmd and inlines the result.

        - guestfish, guestmount, virt-rescue now all support --ro and --rw
          options, and the default for this can be chosen via a configuration
          file (/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf).

        - New event API allows more than one callback to be registered for
          each event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages,
          and allows nearly all log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted
          from stderr.

        - Greater FHS compliance for temporary files, including using /var/tmp
          for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp).

        - guestfish, guestmount -m option allows mount options to be passed
          through to the underlying filesystem.

        - mkfs-opts allows filesystem features to be specified.

        - More intelligent handling of mountpoints, allowing mkmountpoint, mount
          and umount-all commands to work together properly.

        - Trace messages are prefixed with a distinct string, allowing them to
          be easily 'grepped' out from debug output.

        - guestfs_launch (guestfish 'run' command) now produces progress
          messages (a guestfish progress bar) if it takes longer than 5
          seconds to run.

        - Several long-running commands where we are unable to estimate time
          to completion generate "pulse mode" progress events.  Progress bar
          in guestfish has been updated to display these.

        - Publish new example code in: C, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby.

        - New virt-dhcp-address example program.

        - The Java and Ruby bindings have been improved greatly.

        - Perl includes a way to get the errno of the last error.

        - Python bindings now compatible with rpyc (thanks Erez Shinan).

        - Для керування перекладами тепер використовується Transifex.

          and Windows 7.

        - Inspection can detect 32 bit applications installed in 64 bit
          Windows, running on the WOW64 emulator.

        - A series of protocol fixes has fixed the old bug RHBZ#576879
          which used to cause errors during the upload command to lose
          protocol synchronization.

        - Новий логотип!

       distributed in the tarball.

   Нові можливості
        - Use a new method for creating and caching the appliance.  This
          greatly improves the performance of libguestfs, often by a factor
          of x 4 to x 5.

        - Support for guest inspection (like virt-inspector) via the ordinary
          API and all language bindings.  'guestfish -i' option is as a side-
          effect much quicker.

        - virt-inspector and core inspection API can now detect guests running:
          Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS,
          Scientific Linux, Gentoo, Pardus, Arch Linux, MeeGo.

        - Support for LUKS whole-disk encryption in guests.

        - PHP bindings.

        - Progress messages (and progress bars in guestfish and virt-resize)
          for certain long-running operations.

        - virt-df is now much more efficient.  Use '--one-per-guest' to restore
          the old per-guest isolation behaviour.

        - guestfish 'copy-in' and 'copy-out' commands for copying files and
          directories recursively in and out of the guest.

        - guestfish 'hexedit' command for doing binary edits to devices and
          files.

        - Change guestfish -i syntax to allow commands to be specified on the
          command line (retaining backwards compatibility).

        - guestfish '-d <domain>' for adding disks from libvirt domains.

        - guestfish '-N' option supports several new prepared disk image types:
                lvfs : disk with LV formatted with filesystem
                  lv : disk with LV
            bootroot : boot+root
          bootrootlv : boot and root on LV

        - guestfish 'more' and 'edit' commands now work with arbitrary files.

        - guestfish '--echo-keys' option allows you to echo keys/passphrases
          while typing them.

        - guestmount now supports -a / -d / -i options, like guestfish.

        - Use virtio-serial for communications with the appliance.  This
          also has a major performance benefit.

        - virt-edit '-b' option to create a backup of edited files.

        - virt-edit '-e' option for non-interactive edits to files.

        - Ability to capture core dumps from the appliance (thanks Matthew Booth).

        - virt-rescue now shuts down cleanly (thanks Matthew Booth).

        - virt-rescue now has a --network option to enable network access.

        - virt-resize can now handle guests which use GPT partition table format.

        - virt-resize has better support for shrinking guests.

        - virt-resize supports qcow2-format guests.

        - $TMPDIR can be used to override almost all temporary directory usage.

        - OCaml users can use an alternate OO-style of coding, eg. g#launch ()

        - The API supports calls which take optional parameters, eg.
            $g->add_drive_opts ("disk", readonly => 1);

        - Trace output now escapes and shortens large strings (thanks
          Matthew Booth).

        - Autosync is now on by default, resulting in more reliable behaviour
          when the handle is closed.

        - virt-df --uuid option allows you to follow a domain across migration
          and renaming.

        - Translations of manual pages.

          This is comprehensively fixed in this release, and the fix will be
          backported to the other stable branches after more testing.

        - virt-inspector no longer relies on untrusted guest code to list
          applications in some guests.
