.IX Header "RELEASE NOTES FOR GUESTFS TOOLS 1.50"
These are the release notes for guestfs tools stable release 1.50.
This describes the major changes since 1.48.
.PP
Guestfs tools 1.50.0 was released on \fB7 February 2023\fR.
.SS Security
.IX Subsection "Security"
.IP CVE\-2022\-2211 4
.IX Item "CVE-2022-2211"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2100862
.Sp
A buffer overflow was found in the \fI\-\-key\fR option of several guestfs
tools.  For more information on this low severity bug see the bug
report above (Laszlo Ersek).
.SS "New virt-drivers tool"
.IX Subsection "New virt-drivers tool"
This new tool can examine a disk image to determine:
.IP \(bu 4
Whether it uses BIOS or UEFI for booting
.IP \(bu 4
What bootloader it uses (Linux only)
.IP \(bu 4
What kernels may be chosen at boot time (Linux only)
.IP \(bu 4
What device drivers (kernel modules) are installed
.PP
This is useful for determining how (or if) a guest can boot on a
virtualization hypervisor.
.SS virt-customize
.IX Subsection "virt-customize"
\&\fI\-\-selinux\-relabel\fR is now the default for SELinux guests.  You no
longer need to specify this flag.  In the rare case where you don't
want to relabel a guest after customizing it, you can use
\&\fI\-\-no\-selinux\-relabel\fR.  Note this is not needed for non-SELinux
guests, it will do the right thing automatically (Laszlo Ersek).
.PP
New \fI\-\-inject\-qemu\-ga\fR and \fI\-\-inject\-virtio\-win\fR operations which
respectively inject QEMU Guest Agent and virtio-win drivers into
Windows guests.
.PP
Rocky Linux guests are now supported (thanks Harry Benson).
.SS virt-inspector
.IX Subsection "virt-inspector"
Virt-inspector now outputs the new <build_id> element
containing the guest build ID, if using libguestfs ≥ 1.50.
.SS virt-sysprep
.IX Subsection "virt-sysprep"
New \f(CW\*(C`lvm\-system\-devices\*(C'\fR operation for removing LVM2's
\&\fIsystem.devices\fR file.  This avoids certain problems when cloning a
VM (Laszlo Ersek).
.PP
Virt-sysprep supports guests using LUKS logical volumes on top of LVM
(Laszlo Ersek).
.SS "Common changes"
.IX Subsection "Common changes"
All the tools supporting the \fI\-\-key\fR option can now use Clevis/Tang
to decrypt full disk encryption using this network-based scheme
(Laszlo Ersek).
.SS "Build changes"
.IX Subsection "Build changes"
\&\fBNote\fR that libguestfs now requires minimum OCaml 4.04.  It will not
compile on RHEL 6.
.PP
\&\fBNote\fR that libosinfo is a new required dependency.
.PP
OCaml 4.14 is now supported.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`./configure \-\-disable\-ocaml\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`./configure \-\-disable\-perl\*(C'\fR now
disable the OCaml\- and Perl-based tools respectively (thanks Simon
Walter).
.PP
Experimental support for compiling on macOS.
.PP
When running \f(CW\*(C`make check\-valgrind\*(C'\fR, Valgrind logs are no longer
written to separate files under \fItmp/\fR.  Instead the output is
written to the normal \fItest-name.log\fR file.
