-Version 0.29
-============
+version 0.30.215
+================
- - further compilation fixes
+ - added support for using libnss instead of beecrypt for
+ vhashify's hash calculation. libnss has bad SHA1 performance on
+ i386, but is a) maintained and b) gives better performance with
+ all other hashes and on x86_64.
- - adapted the 'vserver ... build' command to the new barrier
- mechanism
+ - added tunctl, a small program to setup tun/tap interfaces, with
+ support in the configuration.
-
+ - vattribute and nattribute now support a --get operation, which
+ parses the flags and capabilities into a human-readable form.
-Version 0.28
-============
-
- - BUGFIX: fixed context creation when both fakeinit-flag and a
- static context is wanted; previous versions ignored the fakeinit
- flag in this situation
+ - vspace supports all the spaces currently available.
- - BUGFIX: vserver-copy: autodetect mktemp/tempfile (reported by
- DUCLOS Andre)
+ - vmemctrl controls the OOM bias of context.
- - FEATURE: allow to override start/stop commands of vservers
- (patch by Erik Smit)
+ - dynamic contexts are unbroken.
- - BUGFIX: call 'chkconfig' to fix initscripts *after* generating
- the configuration (reported by DUCLOS Andre)
+ - hopefully all rpm-fake races have been fixed.
- - call programs with 'exec' on vserver's 'suexec' command (patch
- by Alec Thomas)
+ - flock has been replaced by lockf, which works on NFS.
- - improved e2fsprogs header detection
+ - the clone build method now supports exclude lists.
- - API-CHANGE: removed argument from vc_get_version() since the
- only supported category is VC_CAT_COMPAT
+ - vmount handles mounting into a guest.
-
-Version 0.27
-============
+ - various fixes for the Gentoo-scripts, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
- - added new 'vkill' implementation which uses the syscall from
- vserver 1.1.6+.
-
- - BUGFIX: fixed typo in vc_get_version() wrapper which caused an
- infinite recursive call of this function; this should not have
- affected any userspace program
+ - support for yum's persistdir has been added.
+
+ - per-guest device maps are now supported.
+
+ - vserver ... build now sets the barrier on the parent directory.
+
+ - fsck is now supported for the guest's fstab.
+
+ - symlinks are now handled on all levels in namespace cleanup.
+
+ - the debootstrap build method now supports debootstrap 1.0.8.
- - BUGFIX: 'vps' accepts multiple arguments now (from Debian patch)
+ - a documentation update, thanks to Micah Anderson.
- - vc_ctx_kill() was added
+ - use numeric uids/gids for the template build method.
+
+ - add support for the alpine and f8 distributions.
- - chrootsafe() code was removed since such a functionality seems
- to be impossible
+version 0.30.214
+================
+ - patches for yum-3.2.
- - use 'vserver' instead of 'virtual_context' as the syscall name;
- this will fix problems with architectures where the syscall is not
- at #273.
+ - various fixes to allow for *SuSE guests.
- - BUGFIX: fixed '--enable-apis' ./configure option; formerly, only
- 'ALL' or none were possible
+ - added Fedora 7.
- - moved some old, unused programs/scripts into a seperate 'legacy'/
- directory
+ - replace file with h2ext for build -m template.
- - BUGFIX: /dev/pts will be mounted with correct options now
+ - add exclude list support for vclone.
- - added support for Slackware's init-method (thanks to Stephen
- Pearce for the patch)
+ - include debootstrap scripts for a lot of distributions.
- - API-CHANGE: followed kernel patches and renamed 'ctx_t' datatype
- to 'xid_t'.
+ - fixes to allow the Gentoo initscripts to be used with baselayout 2.
+ - remove disk limit caches on vserver ... delete.
-Version 0.26
-============
+ - added support for the new APIs in 2.2 and 2.3, in particular the
+ netv2 API, allowing native IPv6 support.
- - BUGFIX: uninitialized variables in 'ifspec' were fixed and
- error-messages will be given out when ioctl() on the requested
- interface fails (thanks to Herbert Poetzl)
-
- - BUGFIX: fixed vc_get_rlimit_mask() to return the queried
- values. This step was missing in 0.25 which returned the
- error-code only.
-
- - use the shipped 'virtual.h' header on default instead of the
- kernel version. The old Behavior can be restored with the
- '--disable-internal-headers' ./configure option
-
+ - added support for a separate filesystem tag.
-Version 0.25
-============
+version 0.30.213
+================
+ - added support for the device mapping feature present in development
+ kernels.
- - BUGFIX: this version fixes handling of ctx >= 32768
+ - further improved Gentoo support, again thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
- - experimental support for new resource-limit syscall was add
- (vserver >= 1.1.3); the new 'vlimit' tool replaces 'setctxlimit'
+ - support persistent contexts.
- - some man-pages were added and init-scripts improved (taken from
- Debian patches provided by Sam Vilain)
+ - add another initscript that creates directories, configures vshelper
+ as well as kills all contexts.
- - basic Gentoo support was added to the 'vserver' script (thanks to
- "Allen D. Parker II")
+ - new vserver-stat implementation, which uses the accounting APIs
+ available in Linux-VServer 2.2.
- - compilation fixes for kernel 2.6 headers
+ - added support for setting sysctl values in the guest configuration.
- - set mode/owner of /var/run/utmp (owner is customizable through
- $UTMP_GROUP)
+ - added a clone build method, which simply links already unified files.
-
-Version 0.24
-============
+ - implement dynamic contexts in userspace, generating a static one
+ during vserver ... build.
- - updated to new syscall API (patch c17h and later)
-
- - revived copy-all-mode for 'vserver ... build' (can be disabled
- with $UTIL_VSERVER_AVOID_COPY)
+ - fix the endless loop in vlogin.
+
+ - fix Ubuntu builds.
+
+ - improved support for Debian Etch, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
+
+ - added CentOS 5.
+
+ - use the state change helper to try to cleanup after us if the guest
+ exited on its own.
+
+version 0.30.212
+================
+ - support for the Linux-VServer 2.1 API has been implemented.
+
+ - the scheduler configuration has been split up into multiple files.
+
+ - namespace cleanup is enabled by default. This can be disabled by
+ touch ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup
+
+ - all unset ulimits are now reset to infinity, so limits are no longer
+ inherited from the host.
+
+ - much improved Gentoo support, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
+
+version 0.30.211
+================
+
+ - novlandev is now the default. To reenable the old behaviour of
+ creating VLAN interfaces where used, touch
+ ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/interfaces/vlandev.
+
+ - vshelper now works correctly with the kernel legacy support turned
+ off.
+
+ - vlogin provides a terminal proxy which allocates a new psuedo-tty
+ on the inside when you enter a guest.
+
+ - and lots of other features/fixes, see ChangeLog.
+
+
+version 0.30.210
+================
+
+ - LEGACY BREAKAGE: by default, only recent kernel APIs will be
+ supported so you have to make sure to use at least the vs2.0.1
+ kernel patch. With older kernels, you have to call 'configure'
+ with '--enable-apis=NOLEGACY'. Some programs will not work anymore
+ with the default settings; these ones are:
+
+ + capchroot
+ * chcontext-context
+ * reducecap
+
+ - dlimit support was integrated into the standard vserver
+ operations. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson for his patch.
- - use '-HS' ulimit switch for newly created vservers
+ - recent kernel API is now used for setting up the network
+ contexts. So it should be now possible to use a kernel compiled
+ without CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson
+ for his patch. .
- - added QUOTACTL capability, removed OPENDEV capability
- - location of vservers-rootdir can now be configured through a
- '--with-vrootdir' configure switch; it defaults still to
- '/vservers'
+version 0.30.209
+================
- - build of 'newvserver' linuxconf-module is conditionalized since
- it is unsupported and will be dropped in future versions. To
- enable it. call './configure' with '--enable-linuxconf'.
+ - large revamping...
version 0.23.6
