Last update commit e751293e10d5ecbb2ef43a61b9c153a1fc4f0304] + +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 + + - [NOT DONE] --ro is now the default for guestfish. + + - 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. + + - 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. + + - 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. + + - 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. + + - Greater FHS compliance for temporary files, including using /var/tmp + for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp). + + - 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. + + - Publish example code in: C, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby. + + - The Java and Ruby bindings have been improved greatly. + + - Perl includes a way to get the errno of the last error. + + - Transifex is now being used to manage translations. + http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/libguestfs/ + + - Inspection now supports Red Hat Desktop, Slackware distributions. + + - Inspection no longer fails for Windows guests that have two or + more disks. + + - Inspection can now tell the difference between Windows 2008 Server + and Windows 7. + + - New logo! + +Security + +New APIs + + first-private, + get-attach-method, + inspect-get-product-variant, + next-private, + resize2fs-M, + set-attach-method, + +Internals + + - The 'HACKING' file is obsolete.
