7
9 Language bindings
10 Python 2 support has been dropped. The minimum version of Python
11 required is 3.6.
12 Python bindings no longer use deprecated "PyEval_ThreadsInitialized".
14 Python bindings now include type hints (Sam Eiderman).
16 Erlang bindings now use libei instead of liberl_interface (Sergei
18 Golovan).
19 Tools
21 virt-get-kernel(1) can now find uncompressed kernels (Pino Toscano).
22 virt-sysprep(1) now regenerates the guest certificate store when a
24 certificate is removed from the guest (Pino Toscano).
25 virt-sysprep(1) can now remove IPA enrollment files and Kerberos
27 keytabs (Pino Toscano, Christian Heimes and François Cami).
28 API
30 New APIs
31 "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 Other API changes
37 "lvm-canonical-lv" no longer produces a noisy error message when called
39 with a non-LV parameter.
40 Build changes
42 C programs using libguestfs can now be compiled against the build
43 directory:
44 ../libguestfs/run ./configure
46 ../libguestfs/run make
47 OCaml components are now linked correctly when building in a different
49 directory from the source (Geoff Toole).
50 GCC LTO is now supported.
52 Weblate is now used for localization instead of Zanata (Pino Toscano).
54 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 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.
