RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.6

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

   New features
        - 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 バインディング。

        - 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.

   Security
        - CVE-2010-3851 libguestfs: missing disk format specifier when adding a disk
          https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2010-October/msg00036.html
          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.

   New APIs
         download-offset, file-architecture, findfs-label, findfs-uuid,
         inspect-os, inspect-get-arch, inspect-get-distro,
         inspect-get-filesystems, inspect-get-major-version,
         inspect-get-minor-version, inspect-get-mountpoints,
         inspect-get-product-name, inspect-get-type, is-blockdev, is-chardev,
         is-fifo, is-lv, is-socket, is-symlink, list-filesystems, luks-add-key,
         luks-close, luks-format, luks-format-cipher, luks-kill-slot,
         luks-open, luks-open-ro, lvm-clear-filter, lvm-canonical-lv-name,
         lvm-set-filter, part-to-dev, pread-device, pwrite-device,
         upload-offset

   内部
        - Use size_t for loop iterators.
        - Refactor the library code into separate files.
        - Refactor the generator code into separate files.
        - Generate guestfish commands.
        - guestfish & guestmount options processing is unified.
        - Protocol changes:
            error message size increased to 64K
            send errno to library
        - Add 'make bindist' to make a binary distribution.
        - Cleaner behaviour under valgrind.
        - More testing of the guestfish command line options and libvirt
          integration.
        - The Perl inspection code is no longer used by any of the tools.
