Changes

Since 3.1:

New features

• vzlist: add more new fields
  • layout (simfs/ploop)
  • private/root (to show VE_PRIVATE and VE_ROOT)
  • features
  • smart_ctid (CT name if available, otherwise numeric CTID)

Fixes

• vzctl start: ability to start containers with systemd (such as Fedora 16 and SUSE 12.1)
  • Console and upstart/systemd hacks removed
  • Note this requires recent RHEL6-based kernel
• vzctl set --ram, --swap: default value is now in bytes
• vzctl set --save: do not save parameters if failed to apply (#2032)
• vzctl restore: fix non-working in-CT quota after restore for ploop case
• vzctl restore: do not ignore DUMPDIR value
• Fix giving excessive permissions for ugid quota disk device
• vzctl console: do not issue SAK on detach (it can kill scripts)

Improvements

• vps-download: accept relative template cache paths (#2222)

• vzctl snapshot: add --skip-suspend option
• vzctl set --features/--iptables/--capability: ability to specify several comma-separated values at once
• vzmigrate: make -vvv add -vv to rsync
• Code cleanups:
  • include/*.h: remove non-existent function prototypes
  • remove NULL checks before free()
  • some functions marked as static, moved to there they belong
  • get rid of setup_resource_management()
  • whitespace nitpicks
