RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.32

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

   New features
       New tools

       The new virt-v2v-copy-to-local(1) tool is an ancillary tool for virt-v2v(1) allowing you
       to convert source guests that virt-v2v is unable to access directly.

       New features in existing tools

       Virt-customize knows how to write a random seed to CirrOS (Pino Toscano).

       On Fedora, virt-customize runs dnf(8) with the --best flag, ensuring it always updates to
       the latest available packages.

       Virt-builder now provides 32 bit Fedora templates.

       Virt-builder and virt-customize --install option now works on 32 bit Fedora guests.
       Previously it would try to install 64 bit packages (Jan Sedlák).

       Virt-builder can now fetch cloud images using Simple Streams v1.0 metadata (Pino Toscano).

       Virt-builder can now fetch openSUSE cloud images out of the box (Cédric Bosdonnat).

       Virt-customize will now use stronger (SHA-512) encrypted passwords by default on openSUSE
       ≥ 11 (Pino Toscano).

       Virt-builder will now correctly handle output filenames containing colon characters (":"),
       and will create temporary files in the libguestfs cache directory instead of defaulting to
       /tmp (Pino Toscano).

       Virt-resize has a new --unknown-filesystems option to control what to do when asked to
       resize a filesystem that libguestfs doesn't know how to resize.

       Virt-v2v now has an --in-place flag/mode, allowing in-place conversion of guests (Roman
       Kagan).

       Virt-v2v has a --compressed option for creating compressed qcow2 output files.

       Virt-v2v can now correctly get the VMware datacenter path (dcPath)  from libvirt, instead
       of having to calculate it using an algorithm that occasionally got the wrong answer
       (Matthias Bolte, Tingting Zheng).

       Virt-v2v now processes RAM sizes correctly for 64 bit guests when running on a 32 bit
       host.

       Language bindings

       In Perl and Python programs, the "get_program_name" API now returns the true program name,
       instead of the incorrect string "perl" or "python".

       The Python bindings can now be compiled against a different version of libguestfs,
       allowing the pip module to be built against any version of libguestfs (instead of
       requiring the pip module and libguestfs to have exactly the same version).

       The quality of the Ruby rdoc (documentation) has been improved (Pino Toscano).

       Perl scripts no longer hard-code the location of perl in the shebang line, but use env(1)
       to locate it instead (Pino Toscano).

       In OCaml programs, the guestfs handle was incorrectly made into a global root, meaning it
       could never be garbage collected.  If you didn't call the "close" function explicitly, the
       handle would not be closed until the whole program exited.  This has now been fixed so
       handles will be garbage collected in the usual way.  This changes the API of the OCaml
       function "Guestfs.event_callback".  Note that non-C language bindings are not covered by
       the libguestfs API/ABI guarantee, although we try hard not to change them, but in this
       case it was essential in order to fix this very serious bug.

       Inspection

       Alpine Linux and the APK package manager, ALT Linux, Frugalware, and PLD Linux are now
       recognized (Pino Toscano).

       If it exists, /etc/os-release will be preferred for inspecting Linux guests (Pino
       Toscano).

       The correct kernel version is returned for Windows guests ≥ 10.

       Documentation

       The large guestfs(3) man page has been split into several separate man pages:
       guestfs-hacking(1) guestfs-internals(1) guestfs-security(1).  In the source tree, a new
       docs directory contains this documentation.

       Architectures and platforms

       Libguestfs now supports ARM 64 bit platforms with vGICv3.

   Security
       See also guestfs-security(1).

       "CVE-2015-5745"
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1251157

           This is not a vulnerability in libguestfs, but because we always give a virtio-serial
           port to each guest (since that is how guest-host communication happens), an escalation
           from the appliance to the host qemu process is possible.  This could affect you if:

           •   your libguestfs program runs untrusted programs out of the guest (using
               "guestfs_sh" etc), or

           •   another exploit was found in (for example) kernel filesystem code that allowed a
               malformed filesystem to take over the appliance.

           If you use sVirt to confine qemu, that would thwart some attacks.

       Virt-customize permissions on .ssh, .ssh/authorized_keys
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1260778.

           Previously when asked to inject an SSH key into a guest, virt-customize (hence virt-
           builder too) would create the .ssh directory and .ssh/authorized_keys file with too
           broad permissions, allowing other users to read.  They are now created as 0700 and
           0600 respectively, which is the same as the ssh-copy-id(1) utility.

   API
       New APIs

       "guestfs_get_identifier"
       "guestfs_set_identifier"
           Get/set a per-handle identifier.  The main effect of this is to change trace output
           from:

            libguestfs: trace: foo

           to:

            libguestfs: trace: ID: foo

           making it easier to follow traces in multi-threaded programs, or where a program uses
           multiple handles (especially virt-v2v).

       "guestfs_vfs_minimum_size"
           Return the minimum size of a filesystem (when shrunk).  This supports ext2/3/4, XFS
           and btrfs, and can support other filesystem types in future (Maxim Perevedentsev).

       Other API changes

       "guestfs_disk_create": add "preallocation" = "off"/"metadata"/"full".
           For raw, this allows "off" as a synonym for "sparse" (making it consistent with
           qcow2).  For qcow2, this allows "sparse" as a synonym for "off".

           It also adds "full", which corresponds to fully allocated, but uses posix_fallocate(3)
           for efficiency.

       "guestfs_tar_in": new "xattrs", "selinux", "acl" parameters.
       "guestfs_tar_out": new "xattrs", "selinux", "acl" parameters.
           These extra parameters control whether extended attributes, SELinux contexts and/or
           POSIX ACLs are restored from / saved to tarballs.

       "guestfs_add_drive"
           The existing "username" and "secret" parameters can be used to supply authentication
           for iSCSI (Pino Toscano).

   Build changes
       The "./configure --enable-valgrind-daemon" option has been removed.

       You can no longer build libguestfs on RHEL 5-era (c.2007) machines.  See the "oldlinux"
       branch if you need (limited) RHEL 5 support.

       Virt-p2v can now be built on RHEL 6-era (c.2010) Linux distros.

       OCaml ≥ 3.11 (released in 2008) is now required to build from git.

       Building the Perl bindings now requires "Module::Build" (instead of
       "ExtUtils::MakeMaker").

       Builds should be faster (especially when incrementally rebuilding), because work was done
       to reduce build times.

       Both OCaml and the OCaml findlib module are required if you need to run the generator at
       build time.  Previously the build would have failed if findlib was not installed.

       "make check" tests now run in parallel (within each test directory).

       "make install" no longer installs OCaml bindtests.* files incorrectly.

       "make install" can now be run twice.  Previously it would fail on the second run.

       "make clean" should now remove nearly every file that "make" creates.

       A new "make installcheck" rule has been added, allowing the installed copy of libguestfs
       to be tested.

   内部
       Some effort was put into minimizing the size of the appliance, which reduces temporary
       disk space and time needed by libguestfs handles.

       The appliance now passes the NIC name to dhcpd, fixing hangs when running the appliance on
       some distros (Cédric Bosdonnat).

       OCaml "Guestfs.Errno" is now generated (Pino Toscano).

       In OCaml tools, common code now handles --debug-gc, --verbose and other common options
       (Roman Kagan, Pino Toscano).

       The virt-v2v test harness allows us to boot the test guests at fixed dates in the past,
       ensuring that Windows reactivation doesn't kick in.

       There is a new internal API for reading/writing a subprocess via a pipe from library code.

       Used "deheader" program to remove unused "#include" directives.

       In OCaml tools, the "Char" and "String" modules now implicitly reference the
       "Common_utils.Char" and "Common_utils.String" modules (instead of the ones from stdlib).
       The "Common_utils" modules contain a number of extra char/string utility functions, and
       also hide some unsafe functions in stdlib.

       Many more virt-v2v tests will now be run even if you don't have rhsrvany and virtio-win
       installed (Roman Kagan).

       The huge configure.ac file has been split into several smaller files called
       m4/guestfs_*.m4.

       The old tests/data and tests/guests directories have been moved to test-data/.  This new
       top level directory carries all test data which is common, large and/or shared between
       multiple tests.

       There is a new top level website/ directory containing the public http://libguestfs.org
       website (or most of it).

       The fuzz testing of inspection (tests/fuzz) has been removed.

       Virt-p2v now saves the source physical machine dmesg output into the conversion server
       debug directory, making it simpler to debug cases of missing drivers, firmware etc.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.30

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

   New features
       New tools

       virt-dib(1) is a secure and safe alternative to the OpenStack "diskimage-builder" tool.
       It is compatible with diskimage-builder elements.  (Pino Toscano)

       virt-get-kernel(1) extracts the kernel and ramdisk from a disk image.  Previously this
       functionality was part of virt-builder(1), but the new tool is more featureful.  (Pino
       Toscano)

       New features in existing tools

       virt-v2v(1) -i ova mode can now read a wider range of OVA files, and also unpacked files
       (directories).

       virt-v2v now securely passes options to curl, so passwords, cookies and so on cannot be
       seen by users with shell access on the same machine.

       virt-v2v has a new --password-file option to allow you to securely pass in a password, and
       to avoid an interactive prompt.

       virt-v2v disables Windows autoreboot, making debugging conversion failures on Windows
       easier.

       virt-v2v now comes with an extensive external test suite.  See virt-v2v-test-harness(1).

       virt-v2v allows virtio drivers to come from any location (Roman Kagan), and drivers can be
       read directly from the virtio ISO.

       virt-v2v supports conversion of Windows ≥ 8.  Note this is experimental, and possibly
       broken.  Use with caution.

       virt-v2v can now convert UEFI guests.

       virt-p2v(1) adds a network configuration dialog.

       virt-p2v now has "p2v.pre", "p2v.post" and "p2v.fail" triggers, allowing arbitrary scripts
       for preparing the host for conversion and tidying up post-conversion.

       virt-p2v now uses the more advanced metacity window manager (instead of matchbox).

       virt-sysprep(1) will remove "/var/spool/mail/username" for non-root accounts (Hu Tao).

       virt-customize(1), virt-builder(1) and virt-sysprep have the following new options:

       --commands-from-file
           allow long lists of commands to be read from a file instead of from the command line
           (Pino Toscano)

       --copy
           copy files inside the guest (Maros Zatko)

       --copy-in
           copy host files recursively into the guest (Pino Toscano)

       --move
           move files inside the guest (Maros Zatko)

       --ssh-inject
           inject SSH keys into a guest (Pino Toscano)

       --sm-attach
       --sm-credentials
       --sm-register
       --sm-remove
       --sm-unregister
           register and unregister a guest from subscription-manager (Pino Toscano)

       --touch
           touch a file in the guest (Pino Toscano)

       --truncate
       --truncate-recursive
           truncate files (Maros Zatko)

       Improvements to virt-customize firstboot support.  In particular, Windows firstboot should
       work as well as Linux (Roman Kagan).

       virt-df(1) can now use PolicyKit, SASL and other authentication methods when getting the
       list of domains from libvirt.

       Improvements to guestfish bash completion (Pino Toscano).

       Bash completion now completes short options as well as long options (Pino Toscano).

       guestfish(1) now displays a command synopsis if the number of parameters given to a
       command is wrong (Hu Tao).

       virt-builder now supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions back to RHEL 3.

       virt-builder supports SUSE guests using zypper (Cédric Bosdonnat).

       Language bindings

       The Java bindings now include validated Javadoc, and other improvements (Pino Toscano).

       Multiple fixes and improvements to the PHP bindings (Pino Toscano).

       Inspection

       Inspection can now get icons from RHEL 7 and CentOS 7.

       /etc/favicon.png is now allowed to be a symbolic link.

       For RPM-based guests, inspection now returns RPM Epoch fields.

       Debian packages now have separate Epoch and Version fields (Nikos Skalkotos).

       OpenBSD detection added, FreeBSD and NetBSD added as separate "distros", and other BSD
       inspection improvements and bug fixes (Nikos Skalkotos).

       CoreOS detection added (Nikos Skalkotos).

       The package manager in Fedora ≥ 22 is "dnf".

       ReactOS guests can be inspected (Maros Zatko).

       Add support for UEFI guests.

       Inspection now works when kernel modules are gzip or xz compressed (Pino Toscano).

       Inspection now recognizes ppc64 and ppc64le guests (Maros Zatko).

       Inspection lists the installed applications on Archlinux guests (Nikos Skalkotos).

       Architectures and platforms

       PPC64 (POWER7) and PPC64LE (POWER8) architectures are now much better supported, and
       should work out of the box.

       For aarch64, we use AAVMF (an open source UEFI implementation based on OVMF) if available
       to run the appliance.

       For armv7, we now use the -M virt machine type by default.

       There is better support for compiling on non-Linux platforms (Pino Toscano, Margaret
       Lewicka).

       Libguestfs should now work on MIPS 32 bit little endian ("mipsel").  I have not been able
       to try 64 bit or big endian.

   Security
       CVE-2014-8484
       CVE-2014-8485
           Libguestfs previously ran the strings(1) utility on untrusted files.  Strings could
           parse BFD headers in an unsafe way, leading to possible arbitrary code execution.
           Libguestfs now runs strings with a flag to ensure it does not try to parse BFD
           headers.  This could have led to exploitation of the libguestfs appliance, but since
           libguestfs further constrains the appliance through virtualization, SELinux and other
           techniques, it was unlikely to have caused any privilege escalation on the host.

       XPath injection in virt-v2v
           One possible XPath injection vulnerability was fixed in virt-v2v.  This might have
           allowed a malicious guest which was being converted by virt-v2v to construct an
           arbitrary XPath expression which would have been evaluated on the host (by the libxml2
           library linked to the virt-v2v binary).  It is not clear what the effects of this
           might be.

           For further information, see upstream commit
           https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/6c6ce85f94c36803fe2db35a98db436bff0c14b0

       Denial of service problems when using "qemu-img info"
           When using the American Fuzzy Lop fuzzer ("afl-fuzz") on the "qemu-img info" command,
           Richard W.M. Jones found that certain files can cause the "qemu-img" program to use
           lots of memory and time (for example 6GB of heap and 14 seconds of CPU time on a fast
           Intel processor), and in some cases to crash.  Since libguestfs may run "qemu-img
           info" on disk images to find out what they contain, this transitively could cause
           libguestfs to hang or consume lots of memory.

           Libguestfs was modified so that it uses resource limits to limit the space and time
           used by "qemu-img info", to avoid this problem.  If a malicious user tries to pass one
           of these disk images to libguestfs, "qemu-img" will crash and the crash is reported
           back to libguestfs callers as an error message.

   API
       New APIs

       "guestfs_add_libvirt_dom"
           This exposes a previously private API that allows you to pass a "virDomainPtr" object

       "guestfs_btrfstune_seeding"
           Various tuning parameters for Btrfs filesystems (Chen Hanxiao).

       "guestfs_c_pointer"
           Return the C pointer to the underlying "guestfs_h *".  This allows interworking of
           libguestfs bindings with bindings from other libraries.  For further information see
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1075164

       "guestfs_copy_in"
       "guestfs_copy_out"
           Flexible APIs for recursively copying directories of files between the host and guest
           filesystem.  Previously these were available only as guestfish commands, but now any
           API users can call them (Pino Toscano).

       "guestfs_part_get_gpt_guid"
       "guestfs_part_set_gpt_guid"
           Get and set the GPT per-partition GUID.

       "guestfs_part_get_mbr_part_type"
           Get MBR partition type (Chen Hanxiao).

       "guestfs_set_uuid_random"
           Set the UUID of a filesystem to a randomly generated value; supported filesystems
           currently are ext2/3/4, XFS, Btrfs, and swap partitions.  (Chen Hanxiao).

       Other API changes

       "guestfs_disk_create" can now use VMDK files as backing files.

       "guestfs_btrfs_subvolume_snapshot" takes extra optional parameters (all added by Hu Tao):

       "ro"
           for creating a read-only Btrfs snapshot

       "qgroupid"
           for adding the snapshot to a qgroup

       "guestfs_btrfs_subvolume_create" can also take the optional "qgroupid" parameter (Hu Tao).

       "guestfs_set_uuid" can set UUID of swap partitions, Btrfs (Hu Tao, Chen Hanxiao).

       "guestfs_copy_device_to_file" and "guestfs_copy_file_to_file" have a new optional "append"
       parameter, allowing you to append to the output file instead of truncating it.

       "guestfs_mkfs" has a new optional "label" parameter to set the initial label of the new
       filesystem (Pino Toscano).

       "guestfs_set_label" and "guestfs_set_uuid" now set "ENOTSUP" as errno when there is no
       implemented support for the filesystem of the specified mountable (Chen Hanxiao).

       Environment variables now let you write "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=true", "LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=0" and
       so on.

       All "guestfs_sfdisk*" APIs have been deprecated.  Because sfdisk(8) was rewritten,
       incompatibly, upstream, we don't recommend using these APIs in future code.  Use the
       "guestfs_part*" APIs as replacements.

       APIs such as "guestfs_download" do not truncate /dev/stdout or /dev/stderr when writing to
       them, meaning that if you redirect stdout or stderr to a file, the file is no longer
       truncated.

   Build changes
       The daemon no longer uses its own separate copy of gnulib.  Instead it shares a single
       copy with the library.

       OCaml .annot files are now created, so IDEs and editors like emacs and vi can browse OCaml
       types in the source code.

       Various fixes to allow different host/appliance architecture builds (Pino Toscano).

       Automake is now used directly to build all the OCaml programs, instead of ad hoc Makefile
       rules.  One side effect of this is to enable warnings in all the C code used by OCaml
       programs.

       "-fno-strict-overflow" is used throughout the build to avoid dubious GCC optimizations.

       Multiple cleanups to support GCC 5.

       OCaml OUnit2 is needed to run some OCaml tests.

       Creating a statically linked libguestfs.a should work again.

       The src/api-support subdirectory and its scripts are no longer used.  Instead we store in
       the generator/actions.ml when the API was added to libguestfs.

   Internationalization
       The translation service has changed from Transifex to Zanata.

       Many more translations are available now, for both library and tools messages and
       documentation.

   内部
       In all OCaml tools, there are now common "error", "warning", "info" functions, and common
       way to set and get the --quiet, -x (trace)  and -v (verbose) flags, and colour
       highlighting used consistently.

       "COMPILE_REGEXP" macros are used to simplify PCRE constructors and destructors.

       In the generator, "Pointer" arguments have finally been implemented.

       Internal identifiers no longer use double and triple underscores (eg.
       "guestfs___program_name").  These identifiers are invalid for C99 and C++ programs,
       although compilers would accept them.

       The daemon no longer parses "guestfs_*" options from /proc/cmdline.  Instead it only takes
       ordinary command line options.  The appliance init script turns /proc/cmdline into daemon
       command line options.

       The tests can now run the daemon as a "captive process", allowing it to be run directly on
       the host.  The main advantage of this is we can run valgrind directly on the daemon during
       testing.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.28

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

   New features
       Tools

       virt-v2v(1) and virt-p2v(1) are tools for converting from foreign hypervisors (such as
       VMware or Xen) or physical machines, to KVM.  These tools were previously a separate
       project.  The code for both tools has been integrated into the libguestfs tree.  As part
       of the refactoring, virt-p2v has been rewritten (from Ruby, now C), and virt-v2v now uses
       several modern features of qemu which make it run many times faster than before.
       virt-v2v(1) can import from: VMware vCenter, VMware OVA files, local disk files, libvirt,
       RHEL 5 Xen.  It can output to: oVirt or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV-M),
       OpenStack Glance, libvirt, qemu, local disk files.

       virt-log(1) is a new tool for listing log files from guests.  It supports a variety of
       guests including Linux traditional, Linux using journal, and Windows event log.

       virt-builder(1) has a new "--machine-readable" option to make it simpler to consume virt-
       builder from other programs.

       New virt-builder(1) and virt-customize(1) --chmod option.

       virt-sysprep(1) will now remove: systemd journals, anaconda logs, lightdm logs, debian-
       installer files, apt logs, exim logs, ConsoleKit logs, firewalld logs, grubby logs,
       proftpd logs, libvirt/libxml logs, and several other log files.  The virt-sysprep
       "user-account" operation is now able to remove or keep particular user accounts.  (Pino
       Toscano).

       New guestmount(1) --fd option, allowing you to run guestmount captive under another
       process.

       virt-sparsify(1) has a new --tmp option allowing you to precisely control where temporary
       files are stored.

       virt-sparsify(1) can now write to a block device.

       virt-customize(1) and virt-sysprep(1) now support adding firstboot scripts to Windows
       guests.

       virt-cat(1), virt-edit(1), virt-ls(1) now support the -m option, allowing you to override
       automatic inspection of guests and instead specify where to mount partitions (Pino
       Toscano).

       The virt tools now have coloured output: green for OK, red for errors, blue for warnings.

       Language bindings

       You can build a Python distribution using "make -C python sdist"

       Ruby bindings have switched from "Test::Unit" to "MiniTest".

       The Java bindings are now compatible with OpenJDK 8 (Pino Toscano).

       Inspection

       Oracle Linux is returned as "oraclelinux" (Nikos Skalkotos).

       Linux guests which do not have /etc/fstab can now be handled (Pino Toscano).

       Minix is returned as "minix" (Pino Toscano).

       Architectures

       Aarch64 (64 bit ARM) support has been added.

       Inspection and the "guestfs_file_architecture" call can now recognize arm (32 bit) and
       aarch64 guests.

   Security
       CVE-2014-0191 Network usage and entity resolution in XML parsing
           Libguestfs previously used unsafe libxml2 APIs for parsing libvirt XML.  These APIs
           defaulted to allowing network connections to be made when certain XML documents were
           presented.  Using a malformed XML document it was also possible to exhaust all CPU,
           memory or file descriptors on the machine.

           Since the libvirt XML comes from a trusted source (the libvirt daemon)  it is not
           thought that this could have been exploitable.

           This was fixed in libguestfs ≥ 1.27.9 and the fix was backported to stable versions ≥
           1.26.2, ≥ 1.24.9, ≥ 1.22.10 and ≥ 1.20.13.  (Thanks: Dan Berrange, Pino Toscano).

       Shellshock (bash CVE-2014-6271)
           This bash bug indirectly affects libguestfs.  For more information see:
           https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-September/msg00252.html

   API
       New APIs

       "guestfs_clear_backend_setting"
       "guestfs_get_backend_setting"
       "guestfs_set_backend_setting"
           Use these APIs to set individual backend settings.

       "guestfs_cpio_out"
           Convert a directory within the disk image to cpio format.

       "guestfs_journal_get_realtime_usec"
           Fetch precise journal times, see sd_journal_get_realtime_usec(3).

       "guestfs_lstatns"
       "guestfs_lstatnslist"
       "guestfs_statns"
           Enhanced versions of "guestfs_lstat", "guestfs_lstatlist", "guestfs_stat" which return
           nanosecond timestamps.

   Build changes
       Libguestfs can now be built with qemu 2.x.

       Add support for packaging the appliance on Mageia (Joseph Wang, Thierry Vignaud).

       Augeas is now a required dependency.

       Flex and bison are now required dependencies.

   内部
       User-Mode Linux (UML) is no longer a supported backend (although still available).  It
       will be supported again once someone steps in and fixes various regressions and brokenness
       in the UML (Linux) kernel.

       You can now connect gdb to qemu by specifying "LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=gdb"

       Serial BIOS (sgabios) is now used by the libvirt backend (on x86 only)  so that we see
       early BIOS messages.

       For the OCaml virt tools, exceptions are now handled and printed by a common function.

       A GCC warning about large stack frames is now enabled by default.  Several places that
       used large arrays and structures on the stack have been fixed.

       There is now a test for booting the appliance repeatedly.  Useful for finding kernel
       leaks.  See: tests/qemu/qemu-boot.c

       There is a test for testing the speed of various qemu features such as virtio-serial
       uploads and block device writes.  See: tests/qemu/qemu-speed-test.c

       GCC warnings are now enabled for OCaml-C bindings in the OCaml virt tools.

       The code for editing files used by virt-edit(1), guestfish(1) "edit" command,
       virt-customize(1) --edit option and more is now shared between all these utilities (thanks
       Pino Toscano).

       The FUSE tests were rewritten in C to ensure finer control over how system calls are
       tested.

       The update-bugs.sh script has been fixed so it should no longer create an empty "BUGS"
       file if the Bugzilla server is unavailable.

       The virt-resize(1) tests now use a stochastic method to ensure much deeper and broader
       testing.

       When the network is enabled, the appliance now uses DHCP to acquire an IP address.

       If libvirt is being used then the appliance will connect to "virbr0" (can be overridden by
       setting "LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=network_bridge=<some_bridge>").  This enables full-
       featured network connections, with working ICMP, ping and so on.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.26

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

   New features
       Tools

       virt-customize(1) is a new tool for customizing virtual machine disk images.  It lets you
       install packages, edit configuration files, run scripts, set passwords and so on.
       virt-builder(1) and virt-sysprep(1) use virt-customize, and command line options across
       all these tools are now identical.

       virt-diff(1) is a new tool for showing the differences between the filesystems of two
       virtual machines.  It is mainly useful when showing what files have been changed between
       snapshots.

       virt-builder(1) has been greatly enhanced.  There are many more ways to customize the
       virtual machine.  It can pull templates from multiple repositories.  A parallelized
       internal xzcat implementation speeds up template decompression.  Virt-builder uses an
       optimizing planner to choose the fastest way to build the VM.  It is now easier to use
       virt-builder from other programs.  Internationalization support has been added to
       metadata.  More efficient SELinux relabelling of files.  Can build guests for multiple
       architectures.  Error messages have been improved.  (Pino Toscano)

       virt-sparsify(1) has a new --in-place option.  This sparsifies an image in place (without
       copying it) and is also much faster.  (Lots of help provided by Paolo Bonzini)

       virt-sysprep(1) can delete and scrub files under user control.  You can lock user accounts
       or set random passwords on accounts.  Can remove more log files.  Can unsubscribe a guest
       from Red Hat Subscription Manager.  New flexible way to enable and disable operations.
       (Wanlong Gao, Pino Toscano)

       virt-win-reg(1) allows you to use URIs to specify remote disk images.

       virt-format(1) can now pass the extra space that it recovers back to the host.

       guestfish(1) has additional environment variables to give fine control over the "><fs>"
       prompt.  Guestfish reads its (rarely used) configuration file in a different order now so
       that local settings override global settings.  (Pino Toscano)

       virt-make-fs(1) was rewritten in C, but is unchanged in terms of functionality and command
       line usage.

       Language bindings

       The OCaml bindings have a new "Guestfs.Errno" module, used to check the error number
       returned by "Guestfs.last_errno".

       PHP tests now work.  (Pino Toscano)

       Inspection

       Inspection can recognize Debian live images.

       Architectures

       ARMv7 (32 bit) now supports KVM acceleration.

       Aarch64 (ARM 64 bit) is supported, but the appliance part does not work yet.

       PPC64 support has been fixed and enhanced.

   Security
       Denial of service when inspecting disk images with corrupt btrfs volumes
           It was possible to crash libguestfs (and programs that use libguestfs as a library) by
           presenting a disk image containing a corrupt btrfs volume.

           This was caused by a NULL pointer dereference causing a denial of service, and is not
           thought to be exploitable any further.

           See commit d70ceb4cbea165c960710576efac5a5716055486 for the fix.  This fix is included
           in libguestfs stable branches ≥ 1.26.0, ≥ 1.24.6 and ≥ 1.22.8, and also in RHEL ≥ 7.0.
           Earlier versions of libguestfs are not vulnerable.

       Better generation of random root passwords and random seeds
           When generating random root passwords and random seeds, two bugs were fixed which are
           possibly security related.  Firstly we no longer read excessive bytes from
           /dev/urandom (most of which were just thrown away).  Secondly we changed the code to
           avoid modulo bias.  These issues were not thought to be exploitable.  (Both changes
           suggested by Edwin Török)

   API
       GUID parameters are now validated when they are passed to API calls, whereas previously
       you could have passed any string.  (Pino Toscano)

       New APIs

       "guestfs_add_drive_opts": new "discard" parameter
           The new "discard" parameter allows fine-grained control over discard/trim support for
           a particular disk.  This allows the host file to become more sparse (or thin-
           provisioned) when you delete files or issue the "guestfs_fstrim" API call.

       "guestfs_add_domain": new parameters: "cachemode", "discard"
           These parameters are passed through when adding the domain's disks.

       "guestfs_blkdiscard"
           Discard all blocks on a guestfs device.  Combined with the "discard" parameter above,
           this makes the host file sparse.

       "guestfs_blkdiscardzeroes"
           Test if discarded blocks read back as zeroes.

       "guestfs_compare_*"
       "guestfs_copy_*"
           For each struct returned through the API, libguestfs now generates "guestfs_compare_*"
           and "guestfs_copy_*" functions to allow you to compare and copy structs.

       "guestfs_copy_attributes"
           Copy attributes (like permissions, xattrs, ownership) from one file to another.  (Pino
           Toscano)

       "guestfs_disk_create"
           A flexible API for creating empty disk images from scratch.  This avoids the need to
           call out to external programs like qemu-img(1).

       "guestfs_get_backend_settings"
       "guestfs_set_backend_settings"
           Per-backend settings (can also be set via the environment variable
           "LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS").  The main use for this is forcing TCG mode in the
           qemu-based backends, for example:

            export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct
            export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg

       "guestfs_part_get_name"
           Get the label or name of a partition (for GPT disk images).

   Build changes
       The following extra packages are required to build libguestfs 1.26:

       supermin ≥ 5
           Supermin version 5 is required to build this version of libguestfs.

       flex, bison
           Virt-builder now uses a real parser to parse its metadata file, so these tools are
           required.

       xz  This is now a required build dependency, where previously it was (in theory) optional.

   内部
       PO message extraction rewritten to be more robust.  (Pino Toscano)

       "podwrapper" gives an error if the --insert or --verbatim argument pattern is not found.

       Libguestfs now passes the qemu -enable-fips option to enable FIPS, if qemu supports it.

       "./configure --without-qemu" can be used if you don't want to specify a default
       hypervisor.

       Copy-on-write [COW] overlays, used for example for read-only drives, are now created
       through an internal backend API (".create_cow_overlay").

       Libvirt backend uses some funky C macros to generate XML.  These are simpler and safer.

       The ChangeLog file format has changed.  It is now just the same as "git log", instead of
       using a custom format.

       Appliance start-up has changed:

       •   The libguestfs appliance now initializes LVM the same way as it is done on physical
           machines.

       •   The libguestfs appliance does not write an empty string to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
           when starting up.

           Note that you must configure your kernel to have "CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="""
           otherwise you will get strange LVM errors (this applies as much to any Linux machine,
           not just libguestfs).  (Peter Rajnoha)

       Libguestfs can now be built on arches that have ocamlc(1) but not ocamlopt(1).  (Hilko
       Bengen, Olaf Hering)

       You cannot use "./configure --disable-daemon --enable-appliance".  It made no sense
       anyway.  Now it is expressly forbidden by the configure script.

       The packagelist file uses "m4" for macro expansion instead of "cpp".

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.

   New features
       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.

       Tools

       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.

       Language bindings

       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.

   Security
       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.

   New APIs
        add-drive-scratch: Add a temporary scratch drive
        aug-label
        aug-setm
        journal-open: Systemd journal support
        journal-close
        journal-next
        journal-skip
        journal-get
        journal-get-data-threshold
        journal-set-data-threshold
        remount: Allow rw flag to be adjusted on mounted filesystems
        set-uuid: Set UUID of filesystem

       "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.

   内部
       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.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.22

       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.

   New features
       API

       Remote access to disks:

       •   Network Block Device (nbd)

       •   Secure Shell (ssh)

       •   HTTP and HTTPS

       •   FTP and 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.

       Tools

       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.

       Language bindings

       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.
       https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-April/msg00001.html

       

       新しいプログラム例は、デバッグを有効化し、ログメッセージを採取する方法を示します。

       Other

       Distributors can add arbitrary extra packages to the appliance by doing:

        ./configure --with-extra-packages="list of package names"

       Distributors can use:

        ./configure --with-supermin-extra-options="..."

       to add arbitrary extra options to supermin.

   Security
       No security issues were found in this release.

        extlinux
        feature-available

        rename
        set-program
        syslinux

       C のみ:

        guestfs_event_to_string

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

       libxml2 が libguestfs をビルドするために必要です。

       (hivex の) hivexregedit プログラムが git からビルドするために必要です。

       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.

       Multiple fixes to Haskell bindings.

       "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.

libguestfs 1.20 のリリースノート

       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.

   New features
       libvirt and sVirt (SELinux confinement)

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

       •   setting "LIBGUESTFS_ATTACH_METHOD=libvirt[:URI]"

       •   using "./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.

       language bindings

       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.

       Fedora 18 is now supported.

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

       ports

       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.

       daemon

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

   Security
       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.

       この問題は CVE-2012-2690 に割り当てられおり、libguestfs ≥ 1.16 において修正されています。

       In the C API only:

        guestfs_push_error_handler
        guestfs_pop_error_handler

   内部
       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).

       New configure options "./configure --enable-code-profiling" and "./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).

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.14

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

   New features
         Erlang bindings.

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

         virt-sparsify is a new tool to make virtual machine disk images
         sparse.

         virt-sysprep is a new tool to make cloning guests from a template
         simpler.

       guestfish

          - New commands setenv, unsetenv, to set environment variables.

          - The input file and line number is printed in error messages.

          - guestfish progress bars are now a "mini-library" used by other
            tools too.

       guestmount

          - the --live option (for access to live VMs) now works.

       virt-cat

          - virt-cat can now handle Windows paths and drive letters (RHBZ#693359).

       virt-filesystems

            partitions, in particular Ubuntu guests.

          - virt-resize can now align the first partition of Windows guests,
            improving performance.  The new virt-resize --align-first option
            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).

         copy-device-to-file, copy-file-to-device, copy-file-to-file,
         get-smp, part-to-partnum, set-smp.

         The mount API no longer implicitly adds -o sync,noatime options.

         add-domain has a new 'readonlydisk' optional parameter to control
         how <readonly/> disks are handled.

   内部
        - 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.

        - OCaml bindings now correctly acquire GC lock during callbacks.

        - Out of tree builds should now work correctly (thanks Hilko Bengen).

        - ./configure --with-extra="..." can be used by packagers to set
          the extra version string.

        - zero, zero-device APIs: if the blocks already contain zeroes,
          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.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.12

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

   New features
       guestfish

          - guestfish strings can use escapes,
            eg. ><fs> write /foo "line 1\nline 2\n"

          - guestfish write-append command can be used to append to files.

          - Long-running file uploads and downloads can be cancelled through the
            API or by hitting ^C in guestfish.

          - New guestfish "display" command for displaying graphical files
            inside guests.

          - In guestfish, tab completion now works on /dev/mapper devices.

          - virt-inspector includes the logo and hostname for certain guests.

          - virt-inspector can now get the version and release numbers for RPM
            packages.

          - CentOS and Scientific Linux are now treated as separate distros by
            the inspection API.

       virt-resize

          - virt-resize can now handle btrfs.

          - New virt-resize --ntfsresize-force option allows Windows VMs to be
            resized multiple times.

       other virt tools

          - guestfish, guestmount, virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, virt-filesystems,
            virt-inspector, virt-ls and virt-rescue now allow you to use
            "-d UUID" option to specify a guest by UUID.  This makes them more
            robust to use from other programs.

          - virt-ls -lR option allows complex file iteration and guest analysis.

          - virt-win-reg supports HKEY_USERS\<SID> and HKEY_USERS\<username>.

          - virt-win-reg new option --unsafe-printable-strings allows printable
            strings to be displayed in the output (unsafely: read the documentation
            before using).

          - virt-edit has been rewritten in C.

       API and language bindings

          - Java is now completely supported.
            See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-java.3.html

Release notes for libguestfs 1.10.0

       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.

   New features
        - 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, 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.

          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.

        - New logo!

   Security
         [none]

   New APIs
         first-private, get-attach-method, inspect-get-drive-mappings,

         inspect-get-windows-current-control-set, next-private, resize2fs-M,
         set-attach-method.

   内部
        - The 'HACKING' file is obsolete.  The contents have been moved into
          a section of the guestfs(3) manual page.

        - libguestfs-test-tool simplified.  It no longer needs the static
          binary or tries to construct an ISO.

        - rpcgen-generated files are compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing
          which should be safer (thanks Matt Booth).

        - virt-resize was rewritten in OCaml.

        - guestfish and other tools tested with valgrind; some memory leaks
          were fixed.

        - Functions can now have optional parameters.

        - Progress bars and progress notifications can now happen for upload
          commands.

        - Appliance builder more careful about not leaving temporary files
          around in /tmp.

        - C programs now only link precisely with the libraries that they use.

        - PCRE, libmagic, hivex and libvirt libraries are now completely
          optional for building.

        - Multiple memory leaks and file descriptor leaks fixed.

        - Add a POD wrapper to unify generation of man pages and HTML files
          across all programs.

        - Source includes phony images of Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and
          Windows guests.

        - Ruby bindings have 'make install' rule.

        - <guestfs.h> is now a single file.

        - <guestfs.h> does not require XDR headers.

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.

        - 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-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

        - 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.

RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.4

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

   New features
        - guestfish lets you choose a prepared disk image, eg:
            guestfish -N fs:ext4

        - Add write support to guestmount (FUSE) module.

        - virt-resize can now resize the content of partitions and logical
          volumes in the guest, and we have better support for shrinking guests.

        - Bash tab-completion script for guestfish.

        - Add ZFS support to virt-rescue.

        - New tool 'virt-make-fs' for creating filesystems with content.

        - Allow suffixes on any guestfish number parameter, eg. "1M".

        - guestfish 'man' command opens the manual page.

        - guestfish supports a "heredoc" syntax for uploading files:
            upload -<<_end_ /foo
            content
            _end_

        - Some guestfish commands now print their output in octal or hex
          where appropriate (RHBZ#583242).

        - Allow dash prefix on guestfish command line.  This ignores any
          error from the second command:                   (RHBZ#578407)
            guestfish -- cmd1 : -cmd2 : cmd3

        - guestfish -h / help command now returns an error for non-existent
          commands (RHBZ#597145).

        - New 'supported' command in guestfish to list optional groups of
          commands which are supported by the daemon / configuration.

        - virt-inspector and guestfish -i now work for filenames which
          contain spaces (RHBZ#507810).

        - Change the protocol to use link-local addresses, to avoid
          conflicting with any address that the host might be using
          (RHBZ#588763).

        - libguestfs now sets the correct time and timezone on filesystem
          modifications.

        - Sort the domains into alphabetical order in virt-df.

        - Make mkfs-b command work for FAT and NTFS by mapping the blocksize
          parameter to the cluster size (RHBZ#599464).

        - Add version numbers to Perl modules (RHBZ#521674).

        - Localization now works for all the libguestfs tools (RHBZ#559963).

        - Tools now support filesystem-on-image VMs (RHBZ#590167).

        - virt-list-partitions has a '-t' option to show the total size of disks.

        - Include extra Augeas lenses in the supermin appliance (Matthew Booth).

        - Add error and close callbacks.

        - Add explicit close method in the Perl API.

        - Multiple fixes for RHEL 5 compatibility.

        - Multiple fixes for Debian/Ubuntu compatibility.

        - Multiple revisions to improve the documentation.

   Security
        - Fix a potential DoS in virt-inspector and virt-v2v if a specially
          crafted disk image contained a char device in place of one of the
          configuration files that we read under /etc (RHBZ#582484).

        - Ship 'BUGS' file with releases.  This is a summary of the bugs in
          the Red Hat Bugzilla database.
        - Ship 'RELEASE-NOTES' file with releases, containing release notes.
        - Unify supermin appliance building into one place, in febootstrap 2.7.
