stable/dev branch split (1.10.0). For detailed changelogs, please see
- CentOS and Scientific Linux are now treated as separate distros by
the inspection API.
+ - mkfs-opts can now set inode size and sector size on created filesystems
+ (thanks Nikita Menkovich).
+
+ - In guestfish, tab completion now works on /dev/mapper devices.
+
+ - New virt-resize --ntfsresize-force option allows Windows VMs to be
+ resized multiple times.
+
Security
- [none]
+ - optargs_bitmask is checked even for calls that have no optional
+ arguments. This closes a possible exploit in the daemon from
+ untrusted callers.
