RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.42

Please note that virt-v2v, virt-p2v and the boot analysis tools were moved out of the
libguestfs package / repository into separate projects. See:

• https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v

• https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v

• https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs-analysis-tools

Those projects are now on a separate release cycle. Release notes are published
separately.

New features
Add support for the Vala language (Corentin Noël).

Add support for the Rust language (Hiroyuki Katsura, sponsored by Google Summer of Code).

Reproducible builds (Chris Lamb).

Advanced Format disks (which use 4K sectors) can now be processed by libguestfs. Use the
new optional "blocksize" parameter to "guestfs_add_drive_opts", and the --blocksize option
added to several tools (Nikolay Ivanets).

Windows CompactOS (NTFS file compression) is now supported.

New features in existing tools

Advanced machine readable output in various virt tools now supports JSON output, and
writing logs to a numbered file descriptor (Pino Toscano).

virt-filesystems tool now more accurately reports filesystem total size, in the case where
for example the filesystem does not occupy the whole of its containing device (Pino
Toscano).

Language bindings

Python ≥ 2.7 is required.

Python bindings are now more extensively tested (Hiroyuki Katsura).

Python bindings should now work with Python ≥ 3.8.

Multiple fixes to avoid crashes in the Python bindings (Sam Eiderman).

OCaml bindings are compiled with "-DCAML_NAME_SPACE" to ensure no non-caml_-namespaced
symbols are used (Pino Toscano).

OCaml bindings should now work with OCaml 4.09 and 4.10.

Erlang has deprecated the old "erl_interface" library which we use for Erlang bindings.
It will be removed in OTP 22, which will permanently break Erlang support unless someone
steps forward to update the Erlang bindings in libguestfs.

Fix compatibility with newer cgo for Go bindings (Tomáš Golembiovský).

Go API error handling is now more idiomatic (Csaba Henk).

Update documentation about how to handle boolean parameters in Ruby bindings (Csaba Henk).

Inspection

Libguestfs can now extract icons for Gentoo, newer SUSE and OpenMandriva guests. Improved
extraction of RHEL icons. (Pino Toscano).

Inspection returns the osinfo IDs of newer Windows versions, and rolling Linux distros
(Pino Toscano).

OpenMandriva is now detected (Bernhard Rosenkränzer).

Arch Linux detection improvements (Pino Toscano).

Architectures and platforms

Libguestfs can now be compiled on OpenMandriva (Bernhard Rosenkränzer).

Ubuntu fix for enabling network support (Ioanna Alifieraki).

Other

Use of deprecated libguestfs APIs will now cause compiler deprecation warnings by default,
whereas previously you have to enable these warnings. To turn off these warnings use
"-DGUESTFS_NO_WARN_DEPRECATED=1". A new feature is that you can now disable deprecated
APIs completely if you want, using "-DGUESTFS_NO_DEPRECATED=1" (Pino Toscano).

Fix hostname in virt-builder templates (Pino Toscano).

The single large release notes file is now split into multiple documents organized by
version.

The "--key" option of several tools was broken, especially if you tried to use the option
to pass multiple keys. This has been fixed and a regression test added.

Augeas exceptions occurring in daemon (eg. during inspection) will now produced detailed
errors (Pino Toscano).

Security
No security issues were found in this release.

API
New APIs

"luks_uuid" returns the UUID of a LUKS device (Pino Toscano).

Other API changes

Cope with new output from the "btrfs scrub" command. There is no visible change at the
API level.

New optional parameter "blocksize" added to "guestfs_add_drive_opts" to support Advanced
Format disks (Nikolay Ivanets).

Build changes
Minimum version of Augeas required is 1.2.0 (Pino Toscano).

"common/" subdirectory is now a git submodule shared with the virt-v2v project.

Supermin ≥ 5.1.18 is required.

There were several bugs in libvirt 5.10.0 and 6.0 which affected libguestfs. It is highly
advisable to use libvirt 6.1 where these bugs are fixed (versions of libvirt < 5.10.0 are
also fine).

Many gnulib modules which we were not using or which we used in only a few places have
been removed (Pino Toscano).

Multiple fixes for builddir != sourcedir builds (Pino Toscano).

A new "bundled/" subdirectory contains one bundled library that we currently use,
"ocaml-augeas" (Pino Toscano).

Fix compatibility issues when being compiled with GCC 10.

内部
When linking OCaml programs, automake silent rules and the "V=1" flag are both now obeyed
(Pino Toscano).

The "guestfs_device_index" API was reimplemented in library code instead of in the daemon.
There should be no observable effect of this change.

Since Linux 5.6 enumerates "/dev/sdX" devices in parallel, libguestfs was changed to map
API device names to appliance device names, and then do the reverse mapping when returning
names from the appliance. Hopefully this should have no observable effect, but can
produce somewhat confusing debugging messages since device names in the debug might not
match device names passed in to APIs. Furthermore the "root=UUID=..." option is always
passed to the appliance (instead of naming the device containing the root filesystem).

We expect to move from the Zanata service to the Weblate service for translated strings.
