So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed (with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some (older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP transactions at all. In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain name as seen by libvirt too so that users can: # virsh start $dom && ssh $dom In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced, while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

<h3>v2.5.0 (2016-12-04)</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>New features</strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>shmem: Add support for additional models<br/>
|
|
The shmem device can now utilize QEMU's ivshmem-plain and
|
|
ivshmem-doorbell, more modern versions of ivshmem
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>vbox: Add VirtualBox 5.1 support
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>libssh: New transport<br/>
|
|
The new libssh transport allows one to connect to a running
|
|
libvirtd via SSH, using the libssh library; for example:
|
|
<tt>qemu+libssh://<i>server</i>/system</tt>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>vhost-scsi: Add support scsi_host hostdev passthrough<br/>
|
|
Add the capability to pass through a scsi_host HBA and the
|
|
associated LUNs to the guest
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>qemu: Users can now enable debug logging for native gluster
|
|
volumes in qemu using the "gluster_debug_level" option in qemu.conf
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>memory hotplug: Slot numbers for memory devices are now
|
|
automatically allocated and thus persistent. In addition slot numbers
|
|
can be specified without providing a base address, which simplifies
|
|
user configuration
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>qemu: Express devices will be placed on PCIe bus by default<br/>
|
|
For machine types that use a PCI Express root bus
|
|
(e.g. x86_64/Q35 and aarch64/virt), any unaddressed PCI
|
|
device that is an Express device (all virtio-1.0 devices,
|
|
e1000e, nec-xhci, vfio assigned devices) will be placed on
|
|
an Express controller (i.e. a pcie-root-port) instead of a
|
|
legacy PCI controller (i.e. pci-bridge) with the root ports
|
|
added as needed
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Improvements</strong>
|
|

|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>vbox: Address thread safety issues
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>virsh: Add support for passing an alternative persistent XML
|
|
to migrate command
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>vhostuser: Allow hotplug of multiqueue devices
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>NEWS: Switch to an improved format<br/>

List user-visible changes instead of single commits for a better
|
|
high-level overview of differences between libvirt releases
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>website: Modernize layout and branding<br/>
|
|
The libvirt website looked very cluttered and outdated; it has now
|
|
been completely overhauled, resulting in a design that's better
|
|
organized and more pleasant to look at
|
|
</li>
|
|
