* qemu: Introduce support for ``igb`` network interface model
|
||||
|

``igb`` is a successor to the ``e1000e`` network device using PCIe interface.
|
||||
It was introduced in QEMU 8.0
|

|

* qemu: Improve handling of maximum physical address configuration

|
||||
The previous defaults were nearly unusable and had to be overridden in most
|
||||
cases.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improve translatable strings format substitutions
|
||||
|
||||
All translatable error messages with substitution strings were converted to
|
||||
use positional modifiers to allow translators to shuffle around words in
|
||||
the translation. The translations in Weblate were also updated to match.
|
||||
|
||||
* qemu: Improve validation of ``watchdog`` devices
|
||||
|
||||
Certain invalid configurations of ``watchdog`` device are now properly
|
||||
detected:
|
||||
|
||||
- hotplug of always-present platform watchdogs is forbidden
|
||||
- ``iTCO`` watchdog can be configured only once
|
||||
- ``ib700`` watchdog is allowed only on ``i440fx`` machines
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved output of ``virt-host-validate`` on ARM
|
||||
|
||||
Our validation tool now parses the ``IORT`` data on ARM to properly detect
|
||||
presence of SMMU and other features.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Bug fixes**
|
||||
|
||||
* qemu: Fix inactive internal snapshots of VM with UEFI firmware
|
||||
|
||||
Recent changes to UEFI firmware handling resulted into breaking support
|
||||
for inactive internal snapshots of VMs with UEFI which historically worked.
|
||||
(Although the intention was to disallow them together with active ones, but
|
||||
the check did not work properly.)
|
||||
|
||||
Preserve existing functionality by allowing such snapshots explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
* qemu: Properly configure locked memory limit for VMs with ``<disk type='nvme'``
|
||||
|
||||
The NVMe driver in qemu requires some memory to be locked. This was not
|
||||
taken into account in the code which calculates the memory limits based
|
||||
on devices present in the configuration
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix native build on win32
|
||||
|
||||
Various improvements to the build system now allow users to build the client
|
||||
library of libvirt on win32 natively.
|
||||
|
||||
* qemu: Properly detect tray of hotplugged CD-ROM devices
|
||||
|
||||
Media in a CD-ROM device which was hotplugged could not be changed as the
|
||||
presence of the tray was not detected properly on hotplug.
