Virt Manager 0.5 Features
- *VNC Changes* -- virt-manager now uses gtk-vnc, providing better security, performance and features.
- *Handle multiple hosts in manager window* -- Connection to remote hypervisors managed by libvirt is now possible. TLS+x509 certificates and SSH+public keys are supported.
[edit]
virt-manager 0.4 features
- *QEMU and KVM support* -- You can now create and manage QEMU and KVM guests with virt-manager.
- *OS Profiles* -- When installing a fully virtualized guest, you can select an OS type. We pass appropriate boot parameters (acpi on/off for example) and determine some behaviors (whether to keep the cdrom drive mounted, for example) based on the OS type choice.
- *Console Mouse Pointer* -- Eliminate the duplicate mouse pointer in the guest console window, by hiding the local pointer. The overall mouse pointer situation will be improved when we get the new VNC widget in (hopefully) 0.5 and some autodetect help for the virtual mouse driver in X.
- *UI for adding block/net devices* -- Added UI for adding vbds and vnics to guests. Block and network devices can be added to and removed from running or inactive guests.
- *Connect dialog for remote management* -- The "connect" dialog now allows choosing the hypervisor on startup. It also will not appear unless there is a question about which hypervisor to connect to; if there's only one obvious choice, it will just connect to it.
- *UI for libvirt networking management* -- virt-manager will now allow you to create and control libvirt virtual networks for your guests on a host. You can also choose which virtual network you want your guest to connect to.
- *Connect help button* -- Help text for all of the virt-manager screens is complete.
