4 - BUGFIX: vlimit: fixed communication with kernel so that it
5 should work now. Output of this tools has been enhanced too.
7 - BUGFIX: fixed off-by-one error when setting ipv4root; now the
8 full 16 IPs can be specified instead of 15 formerly
10 - added better detection for the syscall number; this can solve
11 problems on non-ix86 architectures where __NR_vserver is not 273
13 - BUGFIX/ENHANCEMENTS: the CLI interface of 'reducecap' was fixed
14 significantly: now it is possible to remove capabilities like
15 CHOWN'. Formerly, only privileged caps like SYS_* or *_ADMIN
16 could be removed because of a coding error. Changes in the
17 related code are making it possible that both '--CAP_XXX' and
18 '--XXX' syntax will be recognized (based on patches and reports
21 - cleaned up the documentation and removed unused files
23 - "minimum" installation method: added fc1 target, fixed the rh9
24 filelist and use '-HS' in the sample.conf (reported by Arne
27 - 'distrib-info' knows now how to deal with Debian; vunify &
28 related tools should now work there (patch provided by Matthew
31 - init-scripts are now a little bit more Debian compliantly
32 (Savannah patch #2633; provided by Noèl Köthe)
39 - further compilation fixes
41 - adapted the 'vserver ... build' command to the new barrier
49 - BUGFIX: fixed context creation when both fakeinit-flag and a
50 static context is wanted; previous versions ignored the fakeinit
51 flag in this situation
53 - BUGFIX: vserver-copy: autodetect mktemp/tempfile (reported by
56 - FEATURE: allow to override start/stop commands of vservers
59 - BUGFIX: call 'chkconfig' to fix initscripts *after* generating
60 the configuration (reported by DUCLOS Andre)
62 - call programs with 'exec' on vserver's 'suexec' command (patch
65 - improved e2fsprogs header detection
67 - API-CHANGE: removed argument from vc_get_version() since the
68 only supported category is VC_CAT_COMPAT
74 - added new 'vkill' implementation which uses the syscall from
77 - BUGFIX: fixed typo in vc_get_version() wrapper which caused an
78 infinite recursive call of this function; this should not have
79 affected any userspace program
81 - BUGFIX: 'vps' accepts multiple arguments now (from Debian patch)
83 - vc_ctx_kill() was added
85 - chrootsafe() code was removed since such a functionality seems
88 - use 'vserver' instead of 'virtual_context' as the syscall name;
89 this will fix problems with architectures where the syscall is not
92 - BUGFIX: fixed '--enable-apis' ./configure option; formerly, only
93 'ALL' or none were possible
95 - moved some old, unused programs/scripts into a seperate 'legacy'/
98 - BUGFIX: /dev/pts will be mounted with correct options now
100 - added support for Slackware's init-method (thanks to Stephen
101 Pearce for the patch)
103 - API-CHANGE: followed kernel patches and renamed 'ctx_t' datatype
110 - BUGFIX: uninitialized variables in 'ifspec' were fixed and
111 error-messages will be given out when ioctl() on the requested
112 interface fails (thanks to Herbert Poetzl)
114 - BUGFIX: fixed vc_get_rlimit_mask() to return the queried
115 values. This step was missing in 0.25 which returned the
118 - use the shipped 'virtual.h' header on default instead of the
119 kernel version. The old Behavior can be restored with the
120 '--disable-internal-headers' ./configure option
126 - BUGFIX: this version fixes handling of ctx >= 32768
128 - experimental support for new resource-limit syscall was add
129 (vserver >= 1.1.3); the new 'vlimit' tool replaces 'setctxlimit'
131 - some man-pages were added and init-scripts improved (taken from
132 Debian patches provided by Sam Vilain)
134 - basic Gentoo support was added to the 'vserver' script (thanks to
135 "Allen D. Parker II")
137 - compilation fixes for kernel 2.6 headers
139 - set mode/owner of /var/run/utmp (owner is customizable through
146 - updated to new syscall API (patch c17h and later)
148 - revived copy-all-mode for 'vserver ... build' (can be disabled
149 with $UTIL_VSERVER_AVOID_COPY)
151 - use '-HS' ulimit switch for newly created vservers
153 - added QUOTACTL capability, removed OPENDEV capability
155 - location of vservers-rootdir can now be configured through a
156 '--with-vrootdir' configure switch; it defaults still to
159 - build of 'newvserver' linuxconf-module is conditionalized since
160 it is unsupported and will be dropped in future versions. To
161 enable it. call './configure' with '--enable-linuxconf'.
167 - fixed '--level' option on 'vserver ... chkconfig'
