signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/
https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* Removed features
* Support for AppArmor versions prior to 3.0.0 has been dropped.
* New features
* xen: Support configuration of ``<hyperv/>`` flags for Xen domains.
The following flags are now configurable for Xen: ``vapic``, ``synic``,
``stimer``, ``frequencies``, ``tlbflush`` and ``ipi``.
* bhyve: Support virtio random number generator devices
Domain XMLs can now include virtio random number generator devices.
They are configured with::
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'/>
</rng>
* bhyve: Support ``<interface type='network'>``
At the moment it doesn't provide any new features compared to
``<interface type='bridge'>``, but allows a more flexible configuration.
* Bug fixes
* cpu_map: Install Ampere-1 ARM CPU models
The Ampere-1 CPU models added in the previous release were not properly
installed and thus every attempt to start an ARM domain with custom
CPU definition would fail.
* storage: Fix new volume creation
No more errors occur when new storage volume is being created using ``virsh
vol-create`` with ``--validate`` option and/or ``virStorageVolCreateXML()``
with ``VIR_VOL_XML_PARSE_VALIDATE`` flag.
* Don't spam logs with error about ``qemu-rdp`` when starting a qemu VM
On hosts where the ``qemu-rdp`` binary is not installed a start of a VM
would cause an error such as ::
error : qemuRdpNewForHelper:103 : 'qemu-rdp' is not a suitable qemu-rdp
helper name: No such file or directory
to be logged in the system log. It is safe to ignore the error. The code
was fixed to avoid the message when probing for support.
* Fix libvirt daemon crash on failure to hotplug a disk into a ``qemu`` VM
Some failures of disk hotplug could cause the libvirt daemon to crash due
to a bug when rolling back disk throttling filters.
Enjoy.
