We instead point to the live git log URL for the few links still
needing to point to something.

Adds a new page for the C# language bindings being developed by Arnaud
Champion.

Syntax agreed on in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-September/msg00476.html

<domain ...>
  <vcpu current='x'>y</vcpu>
...

can now be used to specify 1 <= x <= y current vcpus, in relation
to the boot-time max of y vcpus.  If current is omitted, then
current and max are assumed to be the same value.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Add new attribute.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-smp.xml: Add to
domainschematest.
* tests/xml2sexprdata/xml2sexpr-pv-vcpus.xml: Likewise.

Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) macro to help avoid mistakes here.

There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base (HACKING).

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Add memtune element details, added min_guarantee
* src/libvirt.c: Update virDomainGetMemoryParameters api description, make
  it more clear that the user first needs to call the api to get the number
  of parameters supported and then call again to get the values.
* tools/virsh.pod: Add usage of new command memtune in virsh manpage

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623903 documents a qemu
bug that causes libvirt to hang if virt-manager happens to be
querying balloon info when a guest is paused.  Until the qemu bug
is fixed, people need to know how to avoid the issue.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Memory balloon device): Mention
model='none'.

This introduces new attribute to filesystem element
to support customizable access mode for mount type.
Valid accessmode are: passthrough, mapped and squash.

Usage:
        <filesystem type='mount' accessmode='passthrough'>
          <source dir='/export/to/guest'/>
          <target dir='mount_tag'/>
        </filesystem>

passthrough is the default model if not specified, that's
also the current behaviour.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: some of the function type description
  were broken so they could not be automatically documented
* src/util/event.c docs/apibuild.py: event.c exports one public API
  so it needs to be scanned too, avoid a few warnings

* docs/Makefile.am: Add todo.pl and todo.cfg-example to EXTRA_DIST

The patch adds xml entries to the domain.rng file.

v2:
+ Fix typo min_guarantee

To enable the CPU XML from the capabilities to be pasted directly
into the guest XML with no editing, pick a sensible default for
match and feature policy. The CPU match will be exact and the
feature policy will be require. This should ensure safety for
migration and give DWIM semantics for users

* src/conf/cpu_conf.c: Default to exact match and require policy
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document new defaults

This adds a script to generate the todo item page from
bugzilla. This requires a valid username+password for
bugzilla, so it is intended that this only be run on
the libvirt.org website via cron. Normal usage will just
generate an empty stub page.

* docs/todo.pl: Script to extract todo items from bugzilla
* docs/todo.cfg-example: Example config file
* docs/sitemap.html.in: Add todo page
* docs/Makefile.am: Generation rules for todo items

This patch adds another example to the nwfilter html page and provides 2 solutions for how to write a filter meeting the given requirements using newly added features.

I am adding a row with information about the newly supported state
attribute to each of the tables describing supported attributes of protocols.

Extend the nwfilter.rng schema to accept state attribute.

Since version 4.1 ESX(i) can expose virtual serial devices over TCP.

Add support in the VMX handling code for this, add test cases to cover
it and add links to some documentation.

ESX supports two additional protocols: TELNETS and TLS. Add them to
the list of serial-over-TCP protocols.

The <vcpu cpuset=...> attribute has been available since commit
e193b5dd, but without documentation or RNG validation.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng (vcpu): Further validate cpuset.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Fix typos.

I am adding a row with information about the newly supported comment
attribute to each of the tables describing supported attributes of protocols.

Extend the nwfilter.rng schema to accept comment attributes for all protocol
types.

Prior to this patch, the ChangeLog generation was hard coded to use
"awk", when it should have been using the AWK variable set by our
build system.

This breaks compilation on a newly installed OS X system, where the
default path has the Mac (non GNU) awk in the default search PATH
before any installed GNU awk (gawk).

* docs/logging.html.in: Fix spelling and grammar.

Tweaked the PolicyKit documentation improvement patch submitted
by Patrick Dignan.

Additionally, removed the reference to PolicyKit.conf, which is
no longer used by PolicyKit, plus added a link to the expanded
PolicyKit example page on the wiki.

Got sick of seeing the "validity error : ID Objects already defined"
errors, which this patch addresses.

Wording tweak suggested by David Jorm, author of the libvirt App Dev Guide.

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>
