=head1 NAME
guestfs-release-notes - libguestfs Release Notes
=head1 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.54
These are the release notes for libguestfs stable release 1.54.
This describes the major changes since 1.52.
Libguestfs 1.54.0 was released on B<8 October 2024>.
=begin comment
=head2 Language bindings
=end comment
=head2 Inspection
Add detection of Circle Linux (Bella Zhang).
Add support for LoongArch (liuxiang).
Add detection of Kylin (grass-lu).
Add detection of openEuler (Wang Guoquan).
C<PARTUUID> and C<PARTLABEL> are now resolved in guest F</etc/fstab>.
=head2 API
B<New APIs> C<findfs_partuuid> and C<findfs_partlabel>. These can be
used to efficiently look up a filesystem by its GPT partition UUID or
label.
Support for the following inactive or infrequently used device
types has been B<removed>: Gluster, Sheepdog, TFTP.
Add GOST R34.11-94 message digest algorithm to checksum APIs (Alexey
Shabalin).
Allow C<nbd+unix://> URIs (NBD over Unix domain socket) in guestfish
and other places.
Various C<part_*> (partition) APIs related to GPT have been
reimplemented to use util-linux sfdisk instead of sgdisk. Util-linux
is more widely available, so this reduces dependencies in the common
case. One optional API remains that still uses sgdisk. (Thanks
Yongkui Guo).
Add C<cipher> suboption to C<cryptsetup_open>
(Jonatan Pålsson).
Because of a bug, the C<part_get_gpt_attributes> API could truncate
the return value from 64 to 32 bits. This has been fixed.
=begin comment
=head2 Tools
=end comment
=head2 Build changes
Fix btrfs compatibility with kernel changes in Linux 6.7.
Removed some compatibility code for versions of util-linux (sfdisk)
prior to 2014.
Pass CFLAGS through when building the Perl bindings. In particular
this means that I<-g> should be passed through correctly, enabling
debugging symbols.
Fix build on macOS (Antonio Caggiano).
=head2 Internals
Libguestfs will now no longer recommend using
C<LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct>. This was shown previously when libvirt
failed to start the appliance. However it is felt that this now does
more harm than good.
Fix generation of virt-customize I<--chown> parameter (Yongkui Guo).
In the appliance, reduce boot time when dhcp isn't needed (Olaf
Hering).
A deadlock in the appliance caused by a regression in Linux 6.11 has
been worked around. The deadlock was also fixed in Linux 6.12.
