.Vb 4
\& \- libguestfs and tools can be used against live virtual machines.
\&   See the \*(Aqguestfish \-\-live\*(Aq and \*(Aqguestmount \-\-live\*(Aq options, and (for
\&   the low\-level interface) the new APIs set\-attach\-method and
\&   get\-attach\-method.
\&
\& \- New virt tools:
\&   virt\-copy\-in, virt\-copy\-out, virt\-tar\-in, virt\-tar\-out.
\&
\& \- libguestfs can get the drive letter mappings for Windows guests.
\&
\& \- virt\-inspector displays drive letter mappings for Windows guests.
\&
\& \- Drive letters can now be used in virt\-edit and guestfish programs
\&   when operating on Windows guests.
\&
\& \- virt\-resize now works on 32 bit hosts.
\&
\& \- You can now inspect the install disks and live CDs of many different
\&   operating systems.
\&
\& \- guestfish <! cmd which executes a shell cmd and inlines the result.
\&
\& \- guestfish, guestmount, virt\-rescue now all support \-\-ro and \-\-rw
\&   options, and the default for this can be chosen via a configuration
\&   file (/etc/libguestfs\-tools.conf).
\&
\& \- New event API allows more than one callback to be registered for
\&   each event, makes it possible to call the API from other languages,
\&   and allows nearly all log, debug and trace messages to be rerouted
\&   from stderr.
\&
\& \- Greater FHS compliance for temporary files, including using /var/tmp
\&   for large cached files that should survive reboot (instead of /tmp).
\&
\& \- guestfish, guestmount \-m option allows mount options to be passed
\&   through to the underlying filesystem.
\&
\& \- mkfs\-opts allows filesystem features to be specified.
\&
\& \- More intelligent handling of mountpoints, allowing mkmountpoint, mount
\&   and umount\-all commands to work together properly.
\&
\& \- Trace messages are prefixed with a distinct string, allowing them to
\&   be easily \*(Aqgrepped\*(Aq out from debug output.
\&
\& \- guestfs_launch (guestfish \*(Aqrun\*(Aq command) now produces progress
\&   messages (a guestfish progress bar) if it takes longer than 5
\&   seconds to run.
\&
\& \- Several long\-running commands where we are unable to estimate time
\&   to completion generate "pulse mode" progress events.  Progress bar
\&   in guestfish has been updated to display these.
\&
\& \- Publish new example code in: C, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby.
\&
\& \- New virt\-dhcp\-address example program.
\&
\& \- The Java and Ruby bindings have been improved greatly.
\&
\& \- Perl includes a way to get the errno of the last error.
\&
\& \- Python bindings now compatible with rpyc (thanks Erez Shinan).
\&
\& \- Transifex is now being used to manage translations.
\&   http://www.transifex.net/projects/p/libguestfs/
\&
\& \- Inspection now supports Red Hat Desktop, Slackware distributions.
\&
\& \- Inspection no longer fails for Windows guests that have two or
\&   more disks.
\&
\& \- Inspection can now tell the difference between Windows 2008 Server
\&   and Windows 7.
\&
\& \- Inspection can detect 32 bit applications installed in 64 bit
\&   Windows, running on the WOW64 emulator.
\&
\& \- A series of protocol fixes has fixed the old bug RHBZ#576879
\&   which used to cause errors during the upload command to lose
\&   protocol synchronization.
\&
\& \- New logo!

\& \- The \*(AqHACKING\*(Aq file is obsolete.  The contents have been moved into
\&   a section of the guestfs(3) manual page.
\&
\& \- libguestfs\-test\-tool simplified.  It no longer needs the static
\&   binary or tries to construct an ISO.
\&
\& \- rpcgen\-generated files are compiled with \-fno\-strict\-aliasing
\&   which should be safer (thanks Matt Booth).
\&
\& \- virt\-resize was rewritten in OCaml.
\&
\& \- guestfish and other tools tested with valgrind; some memory leaks
