1 version 0.30.215 2 ================ 3 4 - added support for using libnss instead of beecrypt for 5 vhashify's hash calculation. libnss has bad SHA1 performance on 6 i386, but is a) maintained and b) gives better performance with 7 all other hashes and on x86_64. 8 9 - added tunctl, a small program to setup tun/tap interfaces, with 10 support in the configuration. 11 12 - vattribute and nattribute now support a --get operation, which 13 parses the flags and capabilities into a human-readable form. 14 15 - vspace supports all the spaces currently available. 16 17 - vmemctrl controls the OOM bias of context. 18 19 - dynamic contexts are unbroken. 20 21 - hopefully all rpm-fake races have been fixed. 22 23 - flock has been replaced by lockf, which works on NFS. 24 25 - the clone build method now supports exclude lists. 26 27 - vmount handles mounting into a guest. 28 29 - various fixes for the Gentoo-scripts, thanks to Benedikt Böhm. 30 31 - support for yum's persistdir has been added. 32 33 - per-guest device maps are now supported. 34 35 - vserver ... build now sets the barrier on the parent directory. 36 37 - fsck is now supported for the guest's fstab. 38 39 - symlinks are now handled on all levels in namespace cleanup. 40 41 - the debootstrap build method now supports debootstrap 1.0.8. 42 43 - a documentation update, thanks to Micah Anderson. 44 45 - use numeric uids/gids for the template build method. 46 47 - add support for the alpine and f8 distributions. 48 49 version 0.30.214 50 ================ 51 - patches for yum-3.2. 52 53 - various fixes to allow for *SuSE guests. 54 55 - added Fedora 7. 56 57 - replace file with h2ext for build -m template. 58 59 - add exclude list support for vclone. 60 61 - include debootstrap scripts for a lot of distributions. 62 63 - fixes to allow the Gentoo initscripts to be used with baselayout 2. 64 65 - remove disk limit caches on vserver ... delete. 66 67 - added support for the new APIs in 2.2 and 2.3, in particular the 68 netv2 API, allowing native IPv6 support. 69 70 - added support for a separate filesystem tag. 71 72 version 0.30.213 73 ================ 74 - added support for the device mapping feature present in development 75 kernels. 76 77 - further improved Gentoo support, again thanks to Benedikt Böhm. 78 79 - support persistent contexts. 80 81 - add another initscript that creates directories, configures vshelper 82 as well as kills all contexts. 83 84 - new vserver-stat implementation, which uses the accounting APIs 85 available in Linux-VServer 2.2. 86 87 - added support for setting sysctl values in the guest configuration. 88 89 - added a clone build method, which simply links already unified files. 90 91 - implement dynamic contexts in userspace, generating a static one 92 during vserver ... build. 93 94 - fix the endless loop in vlogin. 95 96 - fix Ubuntu builds. 97 98 - improved support for Debian Etch, thanks to Benedikt Böhm. 99 100 - added CentOS 5. 101 102 - use the state change helper to try to cleanup after us if the guest 103 exited on its own. 104 105 version 0.30.212 106 ================ 107 - support for the Linux-VServer 2.1 API has been implemented. 108 109 - the scheduler configuration has been split up into multiple files. 110 111 - namespace cleanup is enabled by default. This can be disabled by 112 touch ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup 113 114 - all unset ulimits are now reset to infinity, so limits are no longer 115 inherited from the host. 116 117 - much improved Gentoo support, thanks to Benedikt Böhm. 118 119 version 0.30.211 120 ================ 121 122 - novlandev is now the default. To reenable the old behaviour of 123 creating VLAN interfaces where used, touch 124 ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/interfaces/vlandev. 125 126 - vshelper now works correctly with the kernel legacy support turned 127 off. 128 129 - vlogin provides a terminal proxy which allocates a new psuedo-tty 130 on the inside when you enter a guest. 131 132 - and lots of other features/fixes, see ChangeLog. 133 134 135 version 0.30.210 136 ================ 137 138 - LEGACY BREAKAGE: by default, only recent kernel APIs will be 139 supported so you have to make sure to use at least the vs2.0.1 140 kernel patch. With older kernels, you have to call 'configure' 141 with '--enable-apis=NOLEGACY'. Some programs will not work anymore 142 with the default settings; these ones are: 143 144 + capchroot 145 * chcontext-context 146 * reducecap 147 148 - dlimit support was integrated into the standard vserver 149 operations. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson for his patch. 150 151 - recent kernel API is now used for setting up the network 152 contexts. So it should be now possible to use a kernel compiled 153 without CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson 154 for his patch. . 155 156 157 version 0.30.209 158 ================ 159 160 - large revamping... 161 162 163 version 0.23.6 164 ============== 165 166 - fixed '--level' option on 'vserver ... chkconfig'
