libvirt 10.6.0 12 Sep 23:25
The libvirt project: is a toolkit to manage virtualization platforms is accessible from C, Python, Perl, Go and more is licensed under open source licenses supports KVM, Hypervisor.framework, QEMU, Xen, Virtuozzo, VMWare ESX, LXC, BHyve and more targets Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and macOS is used by many applications
major feature: Removed features. Qemu: Require QEMU-5.2.0 or newer. The minimal required version of QEMU was bumped to 5.2.0. New features. Qemu: Add support for the 'pauth' Arm CPU feature. Introduce pstore device. The aim of pstore device is to provide a bit of NVRAM storage for guest. Kernel to record oops/panic logs just before it crashes. Typical usage Includes usage in combination with a watchdog so that the logs can be Inspected after the watchdog rebooted the machine. Improvements. Qemu: Set 'passt' net backend if 'default' is unsupported. If QEMU is compiled without SLIRP support, and if domain XML allows it. Starting from this release libvirt will use passt as the default backend Instead. Also, supported backends are now reported in the domain Capabilities XML. Qemu: add a monitor to /proc/ pid when killing times out. In cases when a QEMU process takes longer to be killed, libvirt might have. Skipped cleaning up after it. But now a /proc/ pid watch is installed so This does not happen ever again. . Virt-aa-helper: Allow RO access to /usr/share/edk2-ovmf. When binary version of edk2 is distributed, the files reside under. /usr/share/edk2-ovmf. Allow virt-aa-helper to generate paths under that. Directory. Virt-host-validate: Allow longer list of CPU flags. During its run, virt-host-validate parses /proc/cpuinfo to learn about CPU. Flags. But due to a it parsed only the first 1024 bytes worth of CPU Flags leading to unexpected results. The file is now parsed properly. Capabilities: Be more forgiving when decoding OEM strings. On some systems, OEM strings are scattered in multiple sections. This. Confused libvirt when generating capabilities XML. Not anymore.
