I'm happy to announce the release of virt-manager 3.0.0! virt-manager is a desktop application for managing KVM, Xen, and LXC virtualization via libvirt. The release can be downloaded from: http://virt-manager.org/download/ This release includes: - virt-install --cloud-init support (Athina Plaskasoviti, Cole Robinson) - The virt-convert tool has been removed. Please use virt-v2v instead - A handful of UI XML configuration options have been removed. The XML editor can be used instead. For a larger discussion see this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html - The 'New VM' UI now has a 'Manual Install' option which creates a VM without any required install media - In the 'New VM' UI, the network/pxe install option has been removed. If you need network boot, choose 'Manual Install' and set the boot device after initial VM creation - 'Clone VM' UI has been reworked and simplified - 'Migrate VM' UI now has an XML editor for the destination VM - Global and per-vm option to disable graphical console autoconnect. This makes it easier to use virt-manager alongside another client like virt-viewer - virt-manager: set guest time after VM restore (Michael Weiser) - virt-manager: option to delete storage when removing disk device (Lily Nie) - virt-manager: show warnings if snapshot operation is unsafe (Michael Weiser) - Unattended install improvements (Fabiano Fidêncio) - cli: new --xml XPATH=VAL option for making direct XML changes - virt-install: new --reinstall=DOMAIN option - virt-install: new --autoconsole text|graphical|none option - virt-install: new --os-variant detect=on,require=on suboptions - cli: --clock, --keywrap, --blkiotune, --cputune additions (Athina Plaskasoviti) - cli: add --features kvm.hint-dedicated.state= (Menno Lageman) - cli:--iommu option (Menno Lageman) - cli: Add --graphics websocket= support (Petr Benes) - cli: Add --disk type=nvme source.* suboptions - cli: Fill in all --filesystem suboptions - Translation string improvements (Pino Toscano) - Convert from .pod to .rst for man pages - Switch to pytest as our test runner - Massively improved unittest and uitest code coverage - Now using github issues as our bug tracker Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing, bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback! Thanks, Cole
