xen-tools 4.6 (released 20 Jul 2015)
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
New Features and Major Changes
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Drop all occurrences of apt's `--force-yes` parameter. It only
|
||||
forces the installation of untrusted packages and that's
|
||||
unwanted. (Closes Debian bug report #776487)
|
||||
* Support passing commandline options with `--debootstrap-cmd`.
|
||||
* Use MD5 as default hash method again, to be able to properly set
|
||||
passwords in older releases. Does not affect passwords changed later
|
||||
inside the DomU.
|
||||
* Split off hardcoded release code names list and default mirrors in
|
||||
`xen-create-image` into separate configuration file which are parsed
|
||||
before the default settings or command-line options are set.
|
||||
* Report all SSH fingerprints of the created DomU, not only RSA ones.
|
||||
* Support VLANs with Open vSwitch (GH-2). Thanks to Félix Barbeira for
|
||||
the patch.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New Options
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
* `--keyring` (xen-create-image, xt-install-image)
|
||||
* `--vlan` (xen-create-image)
|
||||
|
||||
Distribution Releases Changes
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian 9 Stretch (preliminary support)
|
||||
* Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf (preliminary support; not yet suported by
|
||||
debootstrap, see Debian bug report #787117)
|
||||
* Ubuntu 12.04 Lucid Lynx is now EoL.
|
||||
* Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn is now EoL.
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Make test suite support as-installed-testing.
|
||||
* Multiple release workflow improvements (target `release` in
|
||||
`Makefile`).
|
||||
* Supports `unstable`, `oldstable` and `oldoldstable` as distribution
|
||||
names, too. (`oldoldstable` is not yet supported by debootstrap, see
|
||||
Debian feature request #792734 in debootstrap.)
|
||||
|
||||
Bug Fixes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix usage of nonexistent variable in `removeDebianPackage` (Closes
|
||||
Debian bug report #774936) Thanks Lukas Schwaighofer!
|
||||
* Allows `#` within configuration file comments. (Closes Debian bug
|
||||
report #783060; thanks Jean-Michel Nirgal Vourgère for the bug
|
||||
report and patch!)
|
||||
* Use `-o APT::Install-Recommends=false` instead of
|
||||
`--no-install-recommends` for backwards compatibility with older APT
|
||||
versions which don't know either (but accept any `Foo=Bar` parameter
|
||||
to `-o`). Allows one to install earlier Debian releases (e.g. Etch)
|
||||
with the default configuration again.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pass `--yes` to `lvcreate` only if LVM version is 2.02.99 or
|
||||
higher. Fixes regression introduced with 4.5 by the fix for Debian
|
||||
bug report #754517.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Change all occurrences of `http.debian.net` to
|
||||
`httpredir.debian.org`.
|
||||
* Installs bash completion into `/usr/share/bash-completion/` (fixes
|
||||
lintian warning `package-install-into-obsolete-dir`)
|
||||
* Testsuite: Optimize and clean up modules.sh.
|
||||
* Split up test suite in functionality/compatibility tests (`t`) and
|
||||
author/release tests (`xt`).
|
||||
* New example script helpful for release testing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
xen-tools 4.5 (released 25 Oct 2014)
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
New Features and Major Changes
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Apply patch by Adrian C. (anrxc) to allow to override hooks in
|
||||
`/usr/share/xen-tools/*.d/` with hooks in `/etc/xen-tools/hooks.d/`.
|
||||
|
||||
Distribution Releases Changes
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.
|
||||
* Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet (preliminary support)
|
||||
* Mark Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander as EoL
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Use `686-pae` kernels instead of `686` kernels on Debian Wheezy and
|
||||
later. Thanks to Daniel Lintott! (Closes Debian bug report #742778)
|
||||
* Pass `-y` option ("assume yes") to `yum` (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#735675) Thanks Lionel FÉLICITÉ!
|
||||
|
||||
Bug Fixes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix always empty gateway on Debian DomUs (Thanks Joan! LP: #1328794)
|
||||
* Fix `lvcreate` awaiting user input when creating swap LV (Closes
|
||||
Debian bug report #754517) Thanks Eric Engstrom!
|
||||
* Fix missing quoting in shell function `assert` in `hooks/common.sh`.
|
||||
* Fix initial configuration summary in cases where `pygrub` is used.
|
||||
* Fix corner cases where not the latest kernel would have been
|
||||
checked.
|
||||
* `--password` overrides `--genpass`. (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#764143) Based on patch by Santiago Vila.
|
||||
* Fix unaligned maxmem output of xen-create-image. (Closes Debian bug
|
||||
report #764126; Patch by Santiago Vila)
|
||||
* Fix copy & paste errors in comments in typos in `roles/puppet`
|
||||
(Closes Debian bug report #764134; Patch by Santiago Vila)
|
||||
* Fix typos in POD of `xen-create-image` (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#764153; Patch by Santiago Vila)
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Drop all xend related sanity checks, they cause more havoc nowadays
|
||||
than they help. Thanks Ian Campbell! (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#732456)
|
||||
* pygrub detection: Prefer `/usr/lib/xen-default` over `/usr/lib/xen-x.y`.
|
||||
* Add password length sanity check with fallback to default length.
|
||||
* Raise default password length from 8 to 23.
|
||||
* Flush output after each line in `runCommand()`.
|
||||
* `Makefile`: Clean up coverage data in multiple targets.

xen-tools 4.4 (released 11 Dec 2013)
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Listing includes changes of according beta releases.
|
||||
|
||||
New Features and Major Changes
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Preliminary support for `xl` toolstack
|
||||
* Ships `/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/xen-tools` for generating Dom0
|
||||
initrds also suitable for DomU usage. Trigger `update-initramfs`.
|
||||
* Installs a legacy `grub` in all `pygrub` based Debian/Ubuntu DomUs
|
||||
to be able to update the `menu.list` automatically.
|
||||
* `hooks/common.sh`: `installDebianPackage` no more installs
|
||||
recommends, use `installDebianPackageAndRecommends` for that from
|
||||
now on.
|
||||
* `hooks/common.sh`: Rename `installCentOS4Package` to
|
||||
`installRPMPackage`. Add `installCentOS4Package` wrapper for
|
||||
backward compatibility.
|
||||
* Better documents and checks requirements for the `--apt_proxy`
|
||||
value. (See #623443 for the corresponding apt issue.) Requires now
|
||||
`Data::Validate::URI`.
|
||||
* Uses now `Data::Validate::Domain` and `Data::Validate::IP` for IP
|
||||
addresses and hostname checks.
|
||||
|
||||
Newly Supported Distribution Releases
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian 8 Jessie
|
||||
* Ubuntu 13.04 Raring
|
||||
* Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy (preliminary support; debootstrap doesn't have
|
||||
support for Saucy at the time of writing)
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Also recognize "M" and "G" instead of "MB" and "GB" as size unit for
|
||||
`--memory`. Also document the recognized units. (Closes Debian bug
|
||||
report #691320)
|
||||
* `xen-list-images` now also outputs the file name of the config file.
|
||||
* `xen-list-images` and `xen-delete-image` now understand `--extension`.
|
||||
* Makefile accepts `DESTDIR=…`
|
||||
* Move examples from debian/examples to examples.
|
||||
* Adds default mount options for ext4, identical to ext2/ext3.
|
||||
* By default install `linux-image-virtual` instead of
|
||||
`linux-image-server` on Ubuntu Intrepid and newer (Hopefully closes:
|
||||
#640099, LP #839492)
|
||||
* Makes some options (like `--pygrub`) negatable.
|
||||
* Rework "minimal" role to be less based on personal preferences:
|
||||
* No more installs sudo, vim, syslog-ng, etc.
|
||||
* Fixes usage together with pygrub.
|
||||
|
||||
Bug Fixes
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix symbolic link hooks/centos-6/15-setup-arch (Closes Debian bug
|
||||
report #690299)
|
||||
* Execute END block not on --version/--help/--manual (Closes Debian
|
||||
bug #684346)
|
||||
* Move code for `--boot` feature to `END` block. Fixes missing SSH
|
||||
fingerprint display if `--boot` was used. (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#679183)
|
||||
* Correctly handle aborts in `END` block. (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#704882)
|
||||
* Fixes `--extension=` with empty parameter.
|
||||
* Sarge amd64 case handle properly
|
||||
* `xt-install-image`: Don't bail out if only `cdebootstrap` is
|
||||
installed but not `debootstrap` (Thanks Elmar Heeb!)
|
||||
* Fix filesystem tools installation in `91-install-fs-tools` (which
|
||||
was broken since 4.3~rc1-1) by merging `91-install-fs-tools back`
|
||||
into `90-make-fstab`. (Closes Debian bug report #715340) Also
|
||||
supports RPM-based distributions now.
|
||||
* Fixes creation of `ARRAY(0x#).log` named log files.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Changes
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Code deduplication to unify the `xen-*-image` scripts
|
||||
* Moves `/usr/lib/xen-tools/` to `/usr/share/xen-tools/`
|
||||
* Use `http.debian.net` as default Debian mirror if no mirror is given
|
||||
and `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror` is not used.
|
||||
* Default DomUs to use the noop scheduler (Closes Debian bug report
|
||||
#693131)
|
||||
* Fixes export of environment variables. Previously they could contain
|
||||
dashes and then were only accessible from within Perl, but not from
|
||||
within Bash.
|
||||
* Uses `Test::NoTabs` instead of its own test for that.
|
||||
* Removes unused Perl modules `Xen::Tools` and `Xen::Tools::Log` from
|
||||
source code. Also removes the according tests from the test
|
||||
suite. No more needs `Moose`.
