by Cole Robinson 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

I'm happy to announce a new virtinst release, version 0.400.2. The release can be downloaded from: http://virt-manager.org/download.html The direct download link is: http://virt-manager.org/download/sources/virtinst/virtinst-0.400.2.tar.gz This release includes: - New virt-clone option --original-xml, allows cloning a guest from an xml file, rather than require an existing, defined guest. - New virt-install option --import, allows creating a guest from an existing disk image, bypassing any OS install phase. - New virt-install option --host-device, for connecting a physical host device to the guest. - Allow specifying 'cache' value via virt-install's --disk options (Ben Kochie) - New virt-install option --nonetworks (John Levon) - Lots of backend cleanups and documentation improvements. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release through testing, bug reporting, submitting patches, and otherwise sending in feedback! Thanks, Cole

02 Mar '09

FYI, there's a significant redesign of virt-manager in progress, with the first stage impacting the 'New VM' wizard, being aimed for Fedora 11. Cole has a blog post giving an overview of the major changes here http://blog.wikichoon.com/2009/02/virt-manager-in-fedora-11-new-vm-wizard.h… so if you have any feedback about these changes, leave a comment on the blog or post to the virt-manager mailing list in this thread http://www.redhat.com/archives/et-mgmt-tools/2009-February/msg00084.html Many more design improvements are targetted for the next few virt-manager releases, impacting nearly every area of the UI, so keep an eye out for more UI review postings during F12 timeframe too....
