guestfs-tools-release-notes-1.56 - Man Page

Fix building of debian-13 template (pulsarrush).

Use HTTPS to fetch templates (Xiang Hua Chen).

Fix SELinux relabelling of "split /usr" guests.

Fix Windows Update and pnputil /e command in Windows guests after virtio-win drivers are injected (Cole Robinson).

When injecting virtio-win drivers in Windows guests, install blnsvr.exe (the balloon server) (Cole Robinson).

Fix installation of Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server R1 drivers (Cole Robinson).

Remove the RHEL subscription-manager feature (Cole Robinson).

In firstboot scripts, print Windows %USERNAME% and %USERDOMAIN% which can be used to diagnose failures caused by insufficient permissions (Ming Xie).

Windows firstboot scripts may now exit with code 250, meaning that no reboot is required after the script.  The next script in sequence runs immediately (Srihari Parimi).

On Windows, a sentinel file is created after all firstboot scripts have run, which may be used to indicate that firstboot has completed.

Add <windows_group_policy/> if Windows Group Policy was detected inside a guest.

New <class> element used to indicate the category of applications, such as antivirus.

For XFS filesystems, new <type version="4|5"> to indicate XFSv4 or XFSv5.  (This is also displayed in virt-filesystems(1) output.)

Add support for Kylin, NeoKylin and Anolis Linux (grass lu).

Add a new operation to clean zsh history files (Fazle Arefin).

Some bash completion scripts that were no longer used by guestfs-tools were removed.  Also new ./configure --with-bash-completion and ./configure --with-bash-completion-dir options were added (Christopher Byrne).

All tools taking a LUKS key file now allow a binary file to be used.

Use qemu option -cpu max in documentation about running virt-builder guests.

All information related to firstboot scripts was moved to and consolidated in "FIRSTBOOT" in virt-customize(1) (Srihari Parimi).

Removed a lot of obsolete documentation in the virt-sysprep(1) man page.

Fix Weblate (i18n) web hooks (Rafael Fontenelle).

Fixes for OCaml 5.

Add github CI (Cole Robinson).

Remove AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro and replace it with simpler LIBINTL checks (Cole Robinson).

Build Bison-based parser with -Wno-yacc to reduce yacc compatibility warnings that we don't care about (Cole Robinson).

Various build warnings were cleaned up (Cole Robinson).

CFLAGS is now prepended to the default, allowing default flags to be overridden.  In addition -fPIC is added to the default flags (Cole Robinson).

Many memory leaks identified by Claude Code were fixed (shivanayak).

OCaml quoted string literals ({|..|}) are used throughout the code to make it easier to include verbatim scripts, code, regexps etc.

The sources for virt-cat(1), virt-filesystems(1), virt-log(1), virt-ls(1) and virt-tail(1) previously used a single source directory (cat/) for no particular reason.  These were moved to separate directories.
