I'm pleased to announce a new high performance Network Block Device (NBD) client library called libnbd. It's written in C and there are also bindings available for Python, OCaml and (soon) Rust. 0.9.8 is the third pre-release before the stable 1.0 version where we freeze the API, so feedback on API-related issues is very welcome now. Download:

I'm pleased to announce the releases of libnbd 1.2 and nbdkit 1.16. These are a high performance Network Block Device (NBD) client library and server. Key features of libnbd: * Synchronous API for ease of use. * Asynchronous API for writing non-blocking, multithreaded clients. You can mix both APIs freely. * High performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic library. *

Copies heavily after a similar addition recently made in nbdkit. --- I'm not sure if .1 or .3 fits better for the man page. With nbdkit, .1 made sense because 'nbdkit' is a standalone program; but with libnbd, our only standalone is nbdsh, yet naming it nbdsh-security seems off. docs/Makefile.am | 7 +++++++ docs/libnbd-security.pod | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Try doing: $ nbdsh nbd> h.connect_command (["nbdkit", "-s", "null"]) At this point you may observe your laptop fan starts to spin and nbdkit is consuming 100% of CPU. In all other respects everything works fine, you can send commands etc. Anyway I tracked the issue down. nbdkit sits in a loop continuously reading stdin, each read(2) call returning EAGAIN.

I'm please to announce libguestfs 1.36, a library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release represents about 7 months of work by many contributors. I'd like to call out in particular substantial code contributions from: Pino Toscano, Tomáš Golembiovský, Cédric Bosdonnat, Roman Kagan, Dawid Zamirski and Matteo Cafasso. Also our testing team:

I'm pleased to announce libguestfs 1.34, a library and set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release took about 8 months of work by many contributors. Amongst the new features are large performance improvements, substantial enhancements to virt-p2v & virt-v2v, better SELinux support, and APIs for doing forensic analysis of disk images. See the release

This makes it consistent with other nbd_is_* and nbd_can_* APIs. Suggested by Thomas Haller. --- docs/libnbd.pod | 2 +- examples/batched-read-write.c | 2 +- examples/simple-reads-and-writes.c | 2 +- examples/threaded-reads-and-writes.c | 2 +- generator/generator | 2 +- lib/flags.c | 2 +- lib/rw.c
