RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS 1.44

9   Language bindings
10       Python 2 support has been dropped.  The minimum version of Python
11       required is 3.6.
12
13       Python bindings no longer use deprecated "PyEval_ThreadsInitialized".
14
15       Python bindings now include type hints (Sam Eiderman).
16
17       Erlang bindings now use libei instead of liberl_interface (Sergei
18       Golovan).
19
20   Tools
21       virt-get-kernel(1) can now find uncompressed kernels (Pino Toscano).
22
23       virt-sysprep(1) now regenerates the guest certificate store when a
24       certificate is removed from the guest (Pino Toscano).
25
26       virt-sysprep(1) can now remove IPA enrollment files and Kerberos
27       keytabs (Pino Toscano, Christian Heimes and François Cami).
28
29   API
30       New APIs
31
32       "cryptsetup-open" and "cryptsetup-close" replace "luks-open", luks-
33       open-ro and luks-close.  The new APIs add support for BitLocker
34       encryption.
35
36       Other API changes
37
38       "lvm-canonical-lv" no longer produces a noisy error message when called
39       with a non-LV parameter.
40
41   Build changes
42       C programs using libguestfs can now be compiled against the build
43       directory:
44
45        ../libguestfs/run ./configure
46        ../libguestfs/run make
47
48       OCaml components are now linked correctly when building in a different
49       directory from the source (Geoff Toole).
50
51       GCC LTO is now supported.
52
53       Weblate is now used for localization instead of Zanata (Pino Toscano).
54
55       The dependencies for guestfsd are no longer hard-coded but are now
56       generated from the built binary, ensuring that they shouldn't get out
57       of synch in future (Hilko Bengen).
58
59   Internals
60       lib/guestfs.h was moved to include/guestfs.h in the source.  This is
61       not an externally visible change but affected a lot of places inside
62       the build system.
63
64   Bugs fixed
65       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1811539
66           The virt-diff command doesn't work on windows 2019 image
67
68       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1384241
69           The tar-in command does not allow restoring file capabilities
