4 - BUGFIX: vlimit: fixed communication with kernel so that it
5 should work now. Output of this tools has been enhanced too.
7 - BUGFIX: fixed off-by-one error when setting ipv4root; now the
8 full 16 IPs can be specified instead of 15 formerly
10 - added better detection for the syscall number; this can solve
11 problems on non-ix86 architectures where __NR_vserver is not 273
13 - BUGFIX/ENHANCEMENTS: the CLI interface of 'reducecap' was fixed
14 significantly: now it is possible to remove capabilities like
15 CHOWN'. Formerly, only privileged caps like SYS_* or *_ADMIN
16 could be removed because of a coding error. Changes in the
17 related code are making it possible that both '--CAP_XXX' and
18 '--XXX' syntax will be recognized (based on patches and reports
26 - further compilation fixes
28 - adapted the 'vserver ... build' command to the new barrier
36 - BUGFIX: fixed context creation when both fakeinit-flag and a
37 static context is wanted; previous versions ignored the fakeinit
38 flag in this situation
40 - BUGFIX: vserver-copy: autodetect mktemp/tempfile (reported by
43 - FEATURE: allow to override start/stop commands of vservers
46 - BUGFIX: call 'chkconfig' to fix initscripts *after* generating
47 the configuration (reported by DUCLOS Andre)
49 - call programs with 'exec' on vserver's 'suexec' command (patch
52 - improved e2fsprogs header detection
54 - API-CHANGE: removed argument from vc_get_version() since the
55 only supported category is VC_CAT_COMPAT
61 - added new 'vkill' implementation which uses the syscall from
64 - BUGFIX: fixed typo in vc_get_version() wrapper which caused an
65 infinite recursive call of this function; this should not have
66 affected any userspace program
68 - BUGFIX: 'vps' accepts multiple arguments now (from Debian patch)
70 - vc_ctx_kill() was added
72 - chrootsafe() code was removed since such a functionality seems
75 - use 'vserver' instead of 'virtual_context' as the syscall name;
76 this will fix problems with architectures where the syscall is not
79 - BUGFIX: fixed '--enable-apis' ./configure option; formerly, only
80 'ALL' or none were possible
82 - moved some old, unused programs/scripts into a seperate 'legacy'/
85 - BUGFIX: /dev/pts will be mounted with correct options now
87 - added support for Slackware's init-method (thanks to Stephen
90 - API-CHANGE: followed kernel patches and renamed 'ctx_t' datatype
97 - BUGFIX: uninitialized variables in 'ifspec' were fixed and
98 error-messages will be given out when ioctl() on the requested
99 interface fails (thanks to Herbert Poetzl)
101 - BUGFIX: fixed vc_get_rlimit_mask() to return the queried
102 values. This step was missing in 0.25 which returned the
105 - use the shipped 'virtual.h' header on default instead of the
106 kernel version. The old Behavior can be restored with the
107 '--disable-internal-headers' ./configure option
113 - BUGFIX: this version fixes handling of ctx >= 32768
115 - experimental support for new resource-limit syscall was add
116 (vserver >= 1.1.3); the new 'vlimit' tool replaces 'setctxlimit'
118 - some man-pages were added and init-scripts improved (taken from
119 Debian patches provided by Sam Vilain)
121 - basic Gentoo support was added to the 'vserver' script (thanks to
122 "Allen D. Parker II")
124 - compilation fixes for kernel 2.6 headers
126 - set mode/owner of /var/run/utmp (owner is customizable through
133 - updated to new syscall API (patch c17h and later)
135 - revived copy-all-mode for 'vserver ... build' (can be disabled
136 with $UTIL_VSERVER_AVOID_COPY)
138 - use '-HS' ulimit switch for newly created vservers
140 - added QUOTACTL capability, removed OPENDEV capability
142 - location of vservers-rootdir can now be configured through a
143 '--with-vrootdir' configure switch; it defaults still to
146 - build of 'newvserver' linuxconf-module is conditionalized since
147 it is unsupported and will be dropped in future versions. To
148 enable it. call './configure' with '--enable-linuxconf'.
154 - fixed '--level' option on 'vserver ... chkconfig'
