2================
3
4        - added support for using libnss instead of beecrypt for
5        vhashify's hash calculation.  libnss has bad SHA1 performance on
6        i386, but is a) maintained and b) gives better performance with
7        all other hashes and on x86_64.
8
9        - added tunctl, a small program to setup tun/tap interfaces, with
10        support in the configuration.
11
12        - vattribute and nattribute now support a --get operation, which
13        parses the flags and capabilities into a human-readable form.
14
15        - vspace supports all the spaces currently available.
16
17        - vmemctrl controls the OOM bias of context.
18
19        - dynamic contexts are unbroken.
20
21        - hopefully all rpm-fake races have been fixed.
22
23        - flock has been replaced by lockf, which works on NFS.
24
25        - the clone build method now supports exclude lists.
26
27        - vmount handles mounting into a guest.
28
29        - various fixes for the Gentoo-scripts, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
30
31        - support for yum's persistdir has been added.
32
33        - per-guest device maps are now supported.
34
35        - vserver ... build now sets the barrier on the parent directory.
36
37        - fsck is now supported for the guest's fstab.
38
39        - symlinks are now handled on all levels in namespace cleanup.
40
41        - the debootstrap build method now supports debootstrap 1.0.8.
42
43        - a documentation update, thanks to Micah Anderson.
44
45        - use numeric uids/gids for the template build method.
46
47        - add support for the alpine and f8 distributions.
48       
49version 0.30.214
50================
51        - patches for yum-3.2.
52
53        - various fixes to allow for *SuSE guests.
54
55        - added Fedora 7.
56
57        - replace file with h2ext for build -m template.
58
59        - add exclude list support for vclone.
60
61        - include debootstrap scripts for a lot of distributions.
62
63        - fixes to allow the Gentoo initscripts to be used with baselayout 2.
64
65        - remove disk limit caches on vserver ... delete.
66
67        - added support for the new APIs in 2.2 and 2.3, in particular the
68        netv2 API, allowing native IPv6 support.
69
70        - added support for a separate filesystem tag.
71
72version 0.30.213
73================
74        - added support for the device mapping feature present in development
75        kernels.
76
77        - further improved Gentoo support, again thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
78
79        - support persistent contexts.
80
81        - add another initscript that creates directories, configures vshelper
82        as well as kills all contexts.
83
84        - new vserver-stat implementation, which uses the accounting APIs
85        available in Linux-VServer 2.2.
86
87        - added support for setting sysctl values in the guest configuration.
88
89        - added a clone build method, which simply links already unified files.
90
91        - implement dynamic contexts in userspace, generating a static one
92        during vserver ... build.
93
94        - fix the endless loop in vlogin.
95
96        - fix Ubuntu builds.
97
98        - improved support for Debian Etch, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
99
100        - added CentOS 5.
101
102        - use the state change helper to try to cleanup after us if the guest
103        exited on its own.
104
105version 0.30.212
106================
107        - support for the Linux-VServer 2.1 API has been implemented.
108
109        - the scheduler configuration has been split up into multiple files.
110
111        - namespace cleanup is enabled by default. This can be disabled by
112        touch ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/nonamespace-cleanup
113
114        - all unset ulimits are now reset to infinity, so limits are no longer
115        inherited from the host.
116
117        - much improved Gentoo support, thanks to Benedikt Böhm.
118
119version 0.30.211
120================
121
122        - novlandev is now the default. To reenable the old behaviour of
123        creating VLAN interfaces where used, touch
124        ${sysconfdir}/vservers/.defaults/interfaces/vlandev.
125
126        - vshelper now works correctly with the kernel legacy support turned
127        off.
128
129        - vlogin provides a terminal proxy which allocates a new psuedo-tty
130        on the inside when you enter a guest.
131
132        - and lots of other features/fixes, see ChangeLog.
133
134
135version 0.30.210
136================
137
138        - LEGACY BREAKAGE: by default, only recent kernel APIs will be
139        supported so you have to make sure to use at least the vs2.0.1
140        kernel patch. With older kernels, you have to call 'configure'
141        with '--enable-apis=NOLEGACY'. Some programs will not work anymore
142        with the default settings; these ones are:
143
144             + capchroot
145             * chcontext-context
146             * reducecap
147
148        - dlimit support was integrated into the standard vserver
149        operations. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson for his patch.
150
151        - recent kernel API is now used for setting up the network
152        contexts. So it should be now possible to use a kernel compiled
153        without CONFIG_VSERVER_LEGACYNET. Thanks to Daniel Hokka Zakrisson
154        for his patch.  .
