Added a workable initial page for the libvirt Application
Development Guide, giving the online viewable options +
the available download ones (pdf, epub, srpm).

Added a link to the PDF to the main Downloads page, plus
neatened the html tags throughout the page as they
were a bit of a mess.

Added --enable-compile-warnings=error to the autogen line,
as suggested by Eric Blake.

update news, spec and french localizaton

* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Use correct VM name, and mention that
libvirt_lxc might be in an alternate location.

Xen supports on_crash actions coredump-{destroy,restart}.  libvirt
cannot parse config returned by xend that contains either of these
actions

xen52 # xm li -l test | grep on_crash
    (on_crash coredump-restart)
xen52 # virsh dumpxml test
error: internal error unknown lifecycle type coredump-restart

This patch adds a new virDomainLifecycleCrash enum and appends
the new options to existing destroy, restart, preserve, and
rename-restart options.

I wrote a patch to add support for listing the Vendor and Model of a
storage pool in the storage pool XML.  This would allow vendor
extensions of specific devices.  The patch includes a test for the new
attributes as well.

Add documentation for features added a while ago.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Time keeping): Update documentation
of <clock> element to match 0.8.0 addition.

  The balloon device is automatically added to qemu guests if supported,
but it may be useful to desactivate it. The simplest to not change the
existing behaviour is to allow
  <memballoon type="none"/>
as an extra option to desactivate it (it is automatically added if the
memballoon construct is missing for the domain).
The following simple patch just adds the extra option and does not
change the default behaviour but avoid creating a balloon device if
type="none" is used.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: add the extra type attribute value
* src/conf/domain_conf.c src/conf/domain_conf.h: add the extra enum
  value
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: if enum is NONE, don't activate the device,
  i.e. don't pass the args to qemu/kvm

* configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: updates
* po/*.po*: update and regenerated

Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.

Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.

esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.

Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.

Enable specifying a virtio console device with:

<console type='pty'>
  <target type='virtio'/>
</console>

All <console> devices now export a <target> type attribute. QEMU defaults
to 'serial', UML defaults to 'uml, xen can be either 'serial' or 'xen'
depending on fullvirt. Understandably there is lots of test fallout.

This will be used to differentiate between a serial vs. virtio console for
QEMU.

Add a new element to the <os> block:

  <bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>

Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.

I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.

Since DV recommended keeping the build instructions distributed with the
source, move them from the old FAQ to the downloads page.

Also accept version > 4.1, but output a warning.

Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.

Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.

This works for file-backed SCSI disk device with a datastore
related source path.

Thanks to DV for knocking together the Relax-NG changes
quickly for me.

Changes since v1:
 - Change the domain.rng to correspond to the new schema
 - Don't allocate caps->ns in testQemuCapsInit since it is a static table

Changes since v2:
 - Change domain.rng to add restrictions on allowed environment names

Changes since v3:
 - Remove a bogus comment in the tests

* formatdomain.html.in: Document <memballoon> element

To allow compatibility with older QEMU PCI device slot assignment
it is necessary to explicitly track the balloon device in the
XML. This introduces a new device

   <memballoon model='virtio|xen'/>

It can also have a PCI address, auto-assigned if necessary.

The memballoon will be automatically added to all Xen and QEMU
guests by default.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add <memballoon> element
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: parsing
  and formatting for memballoon device. Always add a memory
  balloon device to Xen/QEMU if none exists in XML
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export memballoon model APIs
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Honour the
  PCI device address in memory balloon device
* tests/*: Update to test new functionality

By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.

The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.

- configure.ac docs/news.html.in libvirt.spec.in: updated
- po/*/o* : updated or.po and regenerated

(EXTRA_DIST): Remove redundant listing of xml files.
(html/%-%.html, html/%-virterror.html, %-api.xml, %-refs.xml):
Rewrite with...
(python_generated_files): ...new macro, since make didn't see
through the dependency chain correctly otherwise.

Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:

  <driver name='buslogic'/>

Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:

  <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>

The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.

Update the documentation and tests accordingly.

Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.

This is a step towards controller support for the ESX driver.

According to docs/formatdomain.html.in, "The boot element can be
repeated multiple times to setup a priority list of boot devices to try
in turn." The Relax-NG schema required / allowed exactly one entry.

As requested, here a couple of paragraphs about the recently added statematch attribute and some advanced (and tricky) traffic filtering topics.

This patch adds an optional XML attribute to a nwfilter rule to give the user control over whether the rule is supposed to be using the iptables state match or not. A rule may now look like shown in the XML below with the statematch attribute either having value '0' or 'false' (case-insensitive).

[...]
<rule action='accept' direction='in' statematch='false'>
<tcp srcmacaddr='1:2:3:4:5:6'
           srcipaddr='10.1.2.3' srcipmask='32'
           dscp='33'
           srcportstart='20' srcportend='21'
           dstportstart='100' dstportend='1111'/>
</rule>
[...]

I am also extending the nwfilter schema and add this attribute to a test case.

* Fix broken rng schema
* Add test input & output files

The virtio serial changes broke the test suite because they forgot
to add the new address attribute to the domain XML schema. The
xml2xml test also broke because the XML no longer roundtrips. This
is due to testing of auto-addition of <controller> elements. Split
that test case off into a separate XML file to avoid breakage
