Starting with this release, users can + additionally override the defaults that are picked when domain is started + and features are expanded. + * **Bug fixes** + * Fix build with remote driver disabled + + Some parts of code were wrongly annotated as depended on remote driver. + But they were used even from client side drivers. This is now fixed and + libvirt builds properly even with remote driver disabled. + + * Various fixes to libvirt-guests.sh + + Firstly, the exit code of various commands was ignored (which may lead the + script to wrongly determine persistent/transient domain state, for + instance). Secondly, due to logical error, the script might have + incorrectly asses state a domain is in. + + * AppArmor: Ask for no deny rule for readonly disk elements + + For read only disks, libvirt created an AppArmor profile which disallowed + any future write rules. But when doing a blockcommit, libvirt needs to + allow hypervisor to write to even readonly disks. The rule in the profile + was changed so that future write rules can be added, temporarily. + + * esx: Allow connecting to IPv6 server + + Due to a bug in our code, if an IPv6 address was provided in connection + URI, libvirt would fail to connect to VMWare server. This is now fixed. + + * qemu: Use device alias if interface has no name + + The ``virDomainInterfaceAddresses()`` API (or ``virsh domifaddr``) returns + an array interfaces among with their addresses. But some interface names + might be unknown, for instance if the API is told to parse host's ARP table + then PCI assigned NICs or slirp/passt lack interface name. If that's the + case, let the API return domain's ``<interface/>`` alias. + + * bhyve: hyperv: Various memory leak fixes + v12.0.0 (2026-01-15) ==================== -- 2.52.0
