6       virt-v2v-release-notes - virt-v2v release notes for 2.2
7

DESCRIPTION

9       These are the release notes for virt-v2v 2.2.  This describes the major
10       changes since 2.0.
11
12       Virt-v2v 2.2.0 was released on Tuesday 10 January 2023.
13
14   Security
15       When running virt-v2v as root, NBD Unix domain sockets in the v2v
16       directory were openable by any user.  We now set the directory owner so
17       only qemu can access the sockets.  See:
18       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2066773 (thanks Xiaodai
19       Wang, Dr David Gilbert, Daniel Berrangé, Laszlo Ersek).
20
21   New features
22       New virt-v2v-inspector(1) tool.  This tool can be used before
23       conversion to collect facts about the source guest, such as number of
24       disks, and to estimate the disk space required after conversion.
25
26       Add support for NVMe devices and SATA hard disks when importing from
27       VMware VMX files (Laszlo Ersek).
28
29       Add support for importing to KubeVirt using the new experimental -o
30       kubevirt mode.
31
32       Windows 11 guests are now supported.
33
34       Rocky Linux guest support has been added (Andrey Drobyshev).
35
36   Feature removed
37       The -o json mode was removed.  It was intended to be used with KubeVirt
38       but was never actually used there.  Use -o kubevirt instead.
39
40   Other fixes
41       Fix detection of virtio-socket support in Linux guests (Laszlo Ersek).
42       In addition, a semi-random guest CID is chosen in -o qemu mode,
43       avoiding an error.
44
45       Allow importing OVAs where the user or group name inside the tarball
46       contains a space (Jiří Sléžka).
47
48       Reject guests with snapshots when using -i vmx -it ssh (Laszlo Ersek).
49
50       Improve documentation for the need to enable PasswordAuthentication on
51       the server side when importing over SSH (Laszlo Ersek).
52
53       Don't use the deprecated qemu -balloon option.  This caused deprecation
54       warnings with -o qemu mode.  Use -device instead.
55
56       Rewrite device mapping in -o qemu mode, removing some strange / non-
57       existent cases like SCSI floppies.  This should result in more
58       consistent device layout when using this mode (Laszlo Ersek).
59
60       Remove more left over open-vm-tools packages from Linux guests (Tim
61       Kent).
62
63       In -o rhv-upload mode, do not return until the VM has been created
64       (Tomáš Golembiovský).
65
66       Greatly improved vCPU model handling (Laszlo Ersek).
67
68       Document extra permissions needed for non-admin conversion with
69       VMware 7 (Ming Xie).
70
71       QEMU guest agent is now installed unconditionally and where possible a
72       virtio-serial socket is created in the guest metadata (Laszlo Ersek).
73
74       In the various RHV output modes, the number of disks is now limited to
75       23.  RHV doesn't support anything greater and would break (Laszlo
76       Ersek).
77
78       -oo compressed is now working again.  It was temporarily broken in
79       virt-v2v 2.0.
80
81       The documentation no longer advises you to use the dangerous global
82       "LEGACY crypto" option, but provides more targeted advice (Laszlo
83       Ersek).
84
85       Remove the LVM2 devices file during conversion (Laszlo Ersek).
86
87       Add support for guests using Zstandard compressed kernel modules.
88
89       Add the BOCHS DRM display driver in Linux guest initrd, to avoid a
90       crash with some guests with graphical boot displays (Laszlo Ersek).
91
92       The UEFI fallback boot loader is now fixed up if we detect that it was
93       broken (Laszlo Ersek).
94
95       Improve detection of guests using BIOS boot with GPT partitions so that
96       we no longer confuse them with UEFI guests (Andrey Drobyshev).
97
98       Fix conflict between fwcfg and qemufwcfg Windows drivers (Laszlo
99       Ersek).
100
101       Fix Windows 11 support for RHV outputs (Laszlo Ersek).
102
103   Build changes
104       Enable malloc debugging in tests with glibc ≥ 2.34.
105
106       When using "make check-valgrind", valgrind output is no longer written
107       to separate files under tmp/.  Instead it is written to the normal test
108       log file.
109
110       We now require ocamldep -one-line and -all options (added to ocamldep
111       in Jan 2012).
112
113       The OCaml libvirt bindings are no longer bundled.  They must be
114       available at build time.
115
116       Updated the phony test images.  The tests should all pass.
117
118       Add compatibility with OCaml 4.14.
119
120       We now require PCRE2 instead of PCRE.
121
122   Internals
123       New LUKS-on-LVM test added (Laszlo Ersek).
124
125       Added scripts/git.orderfile which orders files when we prepare patches.
