I tagged the tree and pushed the release earlier today, signed tarball and rpms should be available at the usual place: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ I also pushed the associated 3.8.0 for the python bindings which can be found in the python subdir: ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This is a balanced release with new features especially for Qemu/KVM, a reasonable set of improvement and bugs fixes: New features: ------------- - qemu: Added support for cold-(un)plug of watchdog devices - qemu: Added support for setting IP address os usernet interfaces - qemu: Added support for Veritas Hyperscale (VxHS) block devices - storage: Added new events for pool-build and pool-delete Improvements: ------------- - qemu: Set DAC permissions properly for spice rendernode When a rendernode path is set for SPICE GL on qemu:///system, we now correctly set DAC permissions on the device at VM startup. This is the last remaining hurdle to let SPICE GL work for qemu:///system without any external host changes. - nodedev: Add switchdev offload query to NIC capabilities Allow querying the NIC interface capabilities for the availability of switchdev offloading (also known as kernel-forward-plane-offload). - New CPU models for AMD and Intel AMD EPYC and Intel Skylake-Server CPU models were added together with their features - Improve long waiting when saving a domain While waiting for a write to disk to be finished, e.g. during save, even simple operations like virsh list would be blocking due to domain lock. This is now resolved by unlocking the domain in places where it is not needed. * Bug fixes: ------------ - Proper units are now used in virsh manpage for dom(mem)stats Previously the documentation used multiples of 1000, but now it is fixed to use multiples of 1024. - qemu: Fix error reporting when disk attachment fails There was a possibility for the actual error to be overridden or cleared during the rollback. - qemu: Fix assignment of graphics ports after daemon restart This could be seen with newer kernels that have bug regarding SO_REUSEADDR. After libvirtd was restarted it could assign already used address to new guests which would make them fail to start. This is fixed by marking used ports unavailable when reconnecting to running QEMU domains. - Fix message decoding which was causing a very strange bug When parsing an RPC message with file descriptors was interrupted and had to restart, the offset of the payload was calculated badly causing strange issues like not being able to find a domain that was not requested. thanks everybody who contributed to this release with bug reports, patches, reviews, documentation, etc ... Enjoy the release !
