108 Release notes for libguestfs 1.10.0
109 -----------------------------------
111 These release notes only cover the differences from the previous
112 stable/dev branch split (1.8.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
113 the git repository, or the ChangeLog file distributed in the tarball.
117 - libguestfs and tools can be used against live virtual machines.
118 See the 'guestfish --live' and 'guestmount --live' options, and (for

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

149 for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp).
151 - guestfish, guestmount -m option allows mount options to be passed
152 through to the underlying filesystem.
154 - mkfs-opts allows filesystem features to be specified.

163 messages (a guestfish progress bar) if it takes longer than 5
166 - Several long-running commands where we are unable to estimate time

207 inspect-get-product-variant,
208 inspect-get-windows-current-control-set, next-private, resize2fs-M,
213 - The 'HACKING' file is obsolete. The contents have been moved into
214 a section of the guestfs(3) manual page.
