=head1 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.40

These release notes only cover the differences from the previous stable/dev
branch split (1.38.0).  For detailed changelogs, please see the git
repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.

=head2 Нові можливості

=head3 Нові можливості у наявних інструментах

Virt-inspector now displays the libosinfo short ID for guests (Pino
Toscano).

Guestfish I<-N> will now generate 1G disks instead of 100M disks by default.

Virt-resize supports f2fs filesystems (Pino Toscano).

libguestfs-test-tool now supports bash tab completion (Pino Toscano).

The I<--machine-readable> option now supports sending output to files or
stdout/stderr.  This works uniformly across most OCaml-based virt tools,
specifically: virt-builder, virt-builder-repository, virt-dib,
virt-get-kernel, virt-resize, virt-sparsify, and virt-v2v (Pino Toscano).

Virt-builder I<--uninstall> option now works on SUSE (Sebastian Meyer).

Virt-builder now supports Windows.  We are not able to ship Windows
templates in the public repository for obvious licensing reasons, but if you
are an MSDN subscriber you may build your own.  See
L<https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/09/13/creating-windows-templates-for-virt-builder/>

Many tools now support a I<--key> option allowing you to pass in decryption
keys for filesystems stored in local files on the host rather than having to
feed them in over stdin (Pino Toscano).

=head3 virt-v2v і virt-p2v

New I<-o rhv-upload> mode for directly uploading images to RHV, bypassing
the Export Storage Domain (Tomáš Golembiovský, Nir Soffer, Daniel Erez, Pino
Toscano).

New I<-o openstack> mode for directly uploading images to OpenStack and
Cinder using OpenStack APIs.

Virt-v2v now has a general mechanism for input and output options: I<-io>
and I<-oo>.

Virt-v2v can now install the RHV tools or QEMU GA in guests (Tomáš
Golembiovský).

The huge manual has now been split into several smaller documents and is
more focused on helping users to accomplish specific v2v tasks.

Multiple improvements to the OVF metadata when converting to RHV (Tomáš
Golembiovský, Pino Toscano, Arik Hadas).

Virt-v2v can now convert Linux guests with split kernel packages, especially
Ubuntu 18.04 (Pino Toscano).

Virt-v2v old I<--password-file> option has been replaced by I<-ip> (the old
option remains for backwards compatibility).

Virt-v2v now preserves the VM Generation ID.

Virt-v2v has a new I<--mac> option allowing specific NICs to be mapped
precisely to networks or bridges on the target.

New virt-v2v I<--print-estimate> option to estimate the size of data that
virt-v2v will copy.

Virt-v2v is now usually able to remove open-vm-tools and VMware Tools from
the Linux guest during conversion (Pino Toscano).

Virt-v2v can now support UEFI conversions to RHV (Tomáš Golembiovský).

Virt-p2v now prefers you to shut down instead of rebooting the machine after
conversion has finished (Pino Toscano).

Virt-v2v now writes the libosinfo short ID to the libvirt metadata when
using I<-o local> and I<-o libvirt> output modes (Martin Kletzander).

=head3 Прив’язки до мов програмування

OpenJDK 10+ is supported (Pino Toscano).

Java bindings fixed for Gentoo host (Martin Kletzander).

=head3 Перевірка

Support Kali Linux (Pino Toscano).

When inspecting mountpoints, look for F</etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf> as well as
F</etc/mdadm.conf> (Nikolay Ivanets).

Improved support for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (Pino Toscano).

=head3 Архітектури і платформи

Miscellaneous macOS build fixes (Adam Robinson).

=head3 Інше

Multiple documentation typos fixed (Yuri Chornoivan).

=head2 Безпека

Див. також L<guestfs-security(1)>.

=head3 CVE-2018-11806

Qemu's slirp (userspace networking) had several buffer overflows which could
be triggered from the guest or network side.

=head2 API

=head3 Нові програмні інтерфейси

=over 4

=item C<f2fs_expand>

Expand an f2fs filesystem (Pino Toscano).

=item C<inspect_get_osinfo>

Get the libosinfo short ID for the inspected guest (Pino Toscano).

=item C<lvm_scan>

This rescans all PVs, VGs and LVs, optionally activating them.

=back

=head3 Інші зміни у програмному інтерфейсі

C<part_get_mbr_part_type> was reimplemented in OCaml (Nikolay Ivanets).

C<list_filesystems> now filters out MBR extended partitions (Nikolay
Ivanets).

C<vgscan> has been deprecated.  Use the new C<lvm_scan> API in preference.

=head2 Зміни у збиранні

The JSON library switched from yajl to Jansson E<ge> 2.7 (Pino Toscano).

Support for The Sleuth Kit 4.5 (Pino Toscano).

Multiple improvements in the C<./configure> script (Lin Ma).

More out-of-tree build fixes (Hilko Bengen).

Some work on reproducible builds (Bernhard M. Wiedemann).

=head2 Внутрішня частина роботи програми

lvmetad is now used unconditionally, and is started much earlier in the
appliance boot process.  This fixes support for certain PV types.

On Debian, dash is installed inside the appliance and in virt-rescue (Pino
Toscano).

The amount of RAM assigned to the appliance has been increased from 500M to
768M (on x86_64, other architectures have different limits).  This enables
use of up to 255 disks when using recent Linux kernels.

Virt-v2v now models the source machine type (eg. i440FX, Q35 or virt).

Virt-p2v now generates configuration code automatically, also code for
parsing the kernel command line.

Use C<LT_INIT> instead of C<AC_PROG_LIBTOOL>.

The OCaml C<JSON> code for parsing and serializing has been unified into a
single abstract data type.

Most OCaml tools are now built using the PIC runtime.  This has a
performance penalty on i686, but is relatively free on other architectures
and has security benefits.

The direct backend now queries the qemu binary for availability of KVM,
instead of using a heuristic based on F</dev/kvm> (Andrea Bolognani).

Our "clever" libxml2 writer macros are now used consistently across all
parts of the code base.

Qemu dropped I<-nodefconfig> without telling us.  The equivalent
I<-no-user-config> option is now used instead.  Qemu also moved the
C<serial> option from I<-drive> to I<-device>, again without any notice, and
this is also fixed.
