Somehow I forgot to make rc2 on Tuesday, but the only commits after rc1
at that time were translations so I guess it's not a big deal.
The 10.3.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/
https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* qemu: Proper support for USB network device
USB address is now automatically assigned to USB network devices thus they
can be used without manual configuration.
* conf: Introduce memReserve attribute to <controller/>
Some PCI devices have large non-prefetchable memory. This can be a problem
in case when such device needs to be hotplugged as the firmware can't
foresee such situation. The user thus can override the value calculated at
start to accomodate for such devices.
* Improvements
* Improve validation of USB devices
Certain USB device types ('sound', 'fs', 'chr', 'ccid' and 'net') were not
properly handled in the check whether the VM config supports USB and thus
would result in poor error messages.
* virsh: Fix behaviour of ``--name`` and ``--parent`` used together when listing checkpoint and snapshots
The ``checkpoint-list`` and ``snapshot-list`` commands would ignore the
``--name`` option to print only the name when used with ``--parent``.
* Extend libvirt-guests to shutdown only persistent VMs
Users can now choose to shutdown only persistent VMs when the host is being
shut down.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: Fix migration with custom XML
Libvirt 10.2.0 would sometimes complain about incompatible CPU definition
when trying to migrate or save a domain and passing a custom XML even
though such XML was properly generated as migratable. Hitting this bug
depends on the guest CPU definition and the host on which a particular
domain was running.
* qemu: Fix TLS hostname verification failure in certain non-shared storage migration scenarios
In certain scenarios (parallel migration, newly also post-copy migration)
libvirt would wrongly pass an empty hostname to QEMU to be used for TLS
certificate hostname validation, which would result into failure of the
non-shared storage migration step::
error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-add': Certificate does not match the hostname
* Create OVS ports as transient
Libvirt now creates OVS ports as transient which prevents them from
reappearing or going stale on sudden reboots.
* Clear OVS QoS settings when domain shuts down
Libvirt now clears QoS settings on domain shutdown, so they no longer pile
up in OVS database.
Enjoy.
