Virtual Machine Manager News
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Release 0.5.0
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This release introduces the ability to manage multiple remote machines,
|
|
using either SSH+public keys, or TLS+x509 certificates to connect and
|
|
authenticate. The main user interface is re-worked to show multiple
|
|
hosts in a tree view, remebering connections across restarts. It is
|
|
not currently possible to create new guests with a remote host connection.
|
|
This capability will be added in a future release. The guest VNC console
|
|
implementation has been replaced with the GTK-VNC widget for greatly
|
|
improved performance and increased feature set. Other miscellaneous bug
|
|
fixes and feature enhancements are also included.
|
|
|
|
Release 0.4.0
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This release introduces major new functionality. There is new UI for the
|
|
creation & management of virtual networks using the new libvirt networking
|
|
APIs. The guest creation wizard can now attach VMs to a virtual network or
|
|
shared physical devices. The initial connection dialog is no longer shown,
|
|
either a QEMU or Xen connection is automatically opened based on host kernel
|
|
capabilities. For existing guests there is support for the addition and
|
|
removal of both disk & network devices (hot-add/remove too if supported by
|
|
the virtualization platform being used - eg Xen paravirt). The keymap for
|
|
guest VNC server is automatically set based on the local keymap to assist
|
|
people using non-English keyboard layouts. There is improved error reporting
|
|
for a number of critical operations such as starting guests / connecting
|
|
to the hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
Release 0.3.2
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The release introduces online help for all windows / dialogs in the
|
|
application, to explain usage & operation of key functions. Auto-popup
|
|
of consoles was fixed for existing inactive domains. Additional control
|
|
operations are available on the right-click menu in the VM list. A
|
|
handful of other minor bug fixes are also applied.
|
|
|
|
Release 0.3.1
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This release introduces support for managing QEMU / KVM virtual machines
|
|
using the new libvirt QEMU driver backend. This requires a new libvirt
|
|
(at least 0.2.0) to enable the QEMU driver. It also requires an install
|
|
of the virtinst package of at least version 0.101.0 to support QEMU. The
|
|
dual cursor problem is worked around by grabbing the mouse pointer upon
|
|
first button press (release with Ctrl+Alt). The progress bar display
|
|
when creating new VMs has had its appearance tweaked. The new VM creation
|
|
wizard also allows the user to specify the type of guest OS being installed.
|
|
This will allow the setup of virtual hardware to be optimized for the needs
|
|
of specific guest OS.
|
|
|
|
Release 0.3.0
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This release brings a major functionality update, enabling management
|
|
of inactive domains. This requires a new libvirt (at least 0.1.11)
|
|
to provide implementations of inactive domain management for Xen 3.0.3
|
|
and Xen 3.0.4. With this new functionality the display will list all
|
|
guests which are in the 'shutoff' state. The guest can be started with
|
|
the 'Run' button in the virtual console window. The vistinst package
|
|
must also be updated to at least version 0.100.0 to ensure that during
|
|
provisioning of guests it uses the new inactive domain management APIs.
|
|
Finally there have been a variety of minor UI fixes & enhancements
|
|
such as progress bars during guest creation, reliability fixes to the
|
|
virtual console and even greater coverage for translations.
|
|
|
|
Release 0.2.6
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The release focus has been on major bug fixing. This is also the
|
|
first release in which (partial) translations are available for
|
|
the UI in approximately 20 languages - thanks to the Fedora i18n
|
|
team for excellant progress on this. It is now possible to control
|
|
the virt-manager UI with command line arguments as well as the DBus
|
|
API & it DBus activation is no longer used by default which fixes
|
|
interaction with GNOME keyring & AT-SPI accesibility. Numerous
|
|
UI issues were fixed / clarified, particularly in the graphical
|
|
console and new VM creation wizard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release 0.1.4

|

|
|
