# v0.6.0
This release has been tracked through the [0.6.0 project](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/projects/7).
Highlights for `cloud-hypervisor` version 0.6.0 include:
### Directly Assigned Devices Hotplug
We continued our efforts around supporting dynamically changing the guest
resources. After adding support for CPU and memory hotplug, Cloud Hypervisor
now supports hot plugging and hot unplugging directly assigned (a.k.a. `VFIO`)
devices into an already running guest. This closes the features gap for
providing a complete Kata Containers workloads support with Cloud Hypervisor.
### Shared Filesystem Improvements
We enhanced our shared filesystem support through many `virtio-fs` improvements.
By adding support for DAX, parallel processing of multiple requests, `FS_IO`,
`LSEEK` and the `MMIO` virtio transport layer to our `vhost_user_fs` daemon, we
improved our filesystem sharing performance, but also made it more stable and
compatible with other `virtio-fs` implementations.
### Block and Networking IO Self Offloading
When choosing to offload the paravirtualized block and networking I/O to an
external process (through the `vhost-user` protocol), Cloud Hypervisor now
automatically spawns its default `vhost-user-blk` and `vhost-user-net` backends
into their own, separate processes.
This provides a seamless parvirtualized I/O user experience for those who want
to run their guest I/O into separate executions contexts.
### Command Line Interface
More and more Cloud Hypervisor services are exposed through the
[Rest API](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/blob/master/vmm/src/api/openapi/cloud-hypervisor.yaml)
and thus only accessible via relatively cumbersome HTTP calls. In order
to abstract those calls into a more user friendly tool, we created a Cloud
Hypervisor Command Line Interface (CLI) called `ch-remote`.
The `ch-remote` binary is created with each build and available e.g. at
`cloud-hypervisor/target/debug/ch-remote` when doing a debug build.
Please check `ch-remote --help` for a complete description of all available
commands.
### PVH Boot
In addition to the traditional Linux boot protocol, Cloud Hypervisor now
supports direct kernel booting through the [PVH ABI](https://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/pvh.html).
