123 Release notes for libguestfs 1.10.0
124 -----------------------------------
126 These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
127 stable/dev branch split (1.8.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
128 the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
132 - libguestfs and tools can be used against live virtual machines.
133 See the 'guestfish --live' and 'guestmount --live' options, and (for
134 the low-level interface) the new APIs set-attach-method and
138 virt-copy-in, virt-copy-out, virt-tar-in, virt-tar-out.
140 - libguestfs can get the drive letter mappings for Windows guests.

145 when operating on Windows guests.
147 - virt-resize now works on 32 bit hosts.
149 - You can now inspect the install disks and live CDs of many different
152 - guestfish <! cmd which executes a shell cmd and inlines the result.
154 - guestfish, guestmount, virt-rescue now all support --ro and --rw
155 options, and the default for this can be chosen via a configuration
156 file (/etc/libguestfs-tools.conf).

159 each event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages,
160 and allows nearly all log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted
163 - Greater FHS compliance for temporary files, including using /var/tmp
164 for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp).
166 - guestfish, guestmount -m option allows mount options to be passed
167 through to the underlying filesystem.

178 messages (a guestfish progress bar) if it takes longer than 5
181 - Several long-running commands where we are unable to estimate time
182 to completion generate "pulse mode" progress events. Progress bar
183 in guestfish has been updated to display these.

211 protocol synchronization.
221 first-private, get-attach-method, inspect-get-drive-mappings,
222 inspect-get-product-variant,
223 inspect-get-windows-current-control-set, next-private, resize2fs-M,
228 - The 'HACKING' file is obsolete. The contents have been moved into
229 a section of the guestfs(3) manual page.
231 - libguestfs-test-tool simplified. It no longer needs the static
232 binary or tries to construct an ISO.
