libvirt (7.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  netcf support is now disabled in libvirt.

  This results in most virInterface* APIs, as well as the
  corresponding iface-* virsh commands, becoming non-functional,
  and mirrors upstream's decision to deprecate the feature.

libvirt (5.6.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  Just as version 3.7.0-3 separated the storage drivers into individual
  binary packages - for a smaller amount of default dependencies and the
  ability to reduce the active codebase for security concerns - this is
  now done for the connection drivers as well.

  Internal drivers such as interface, network and storage stay part of the
  libvirt-daemon package for now. But lxc, qemu, vbox and xen are in packages
  like libvirt-daemon-driver-<type>.
  By default libvirt-daemon depends on the qemu connection (most common
  use case) and recommends the further formerly integrated connection types.
  This allows users concerned about size or active codebase to remove those
  drivers they do not use.

libvirt (1.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  If you're using cgroups make sure you're using a different mount per cgroup
  controller (cpu, memory, ...) that is mounted to /sys/fs/cgroup/<controller>.
  This can be achieved using mount_cgroups in /etc/default/libvirt-bin or by
  using systemd. Using a single mount point /sys/fs/cgroup for all controllers
  will no longer work and will prevent vms from starting. See

  http://libvirt.org/cgroups.html

  for more information. If you're not using cgroups nothing has to be changed.

libvirt (1.0.2-3) experimental; urgency=low

  For qemu:///system KVM/QEMU processes now run as group libvirt-qemu. This
  makes sure image files and volumes aren't accessible by users in the more
  general and previously used kvm group. To change this behaviour adjust the
  group option in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.

libvirt (0.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  Disk format probing is disabled now by default for security reasons
  (CVE-2010-2237). You need to explicitly add a driver type element to your
  disk devices in the domain XML:

      <disk ...>
         <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
         ...
      </disk>

  Alternatively you can re-enable probing by setting
  allow_disk_format_probing=1 in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf but this is insecure.

libvirt (0.8.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  If you're using a script such as /etc/qemu-ifup to set up QEMU network
  interfaces, have a look at README.Debian about the new config option
  clear_emulator_capabilities in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.
  When using NAT via libvirt's default network you don't have to change
  anything.
