Version 2.4

Version 2.4

• Update RADME
• Add qemu-utils to package dependencies: if installed on a system without
  libvirt/qemu, backup fails because of missing qemu-img executable.
• Add openssh-client to package dependencies: required for remote libvirtd
  connection.
• Catch exception if executed commands such as qemu-img are missing on
  system.
• Code cleanup

Version 2.3

Version 2.3

• Update README
• Add option -S (--start-domain): if specified and virtual domain is offline
  during backup, domain will be started in pause mode, allowing to execute
  full/diff/inc backups. Domain is destroyed as soon as operation finished
  by using libvirt's AUTODESTROY flag. (#164)
• Move code for preflight tests to separate module.

Full Changelog: v2.2...v2.3

Version 2.2

Version 2.2

• Fix Progressbar during restore: wrong values used. (#160)
• Catch exception if during restore connection to NBD server fails (#163)
• Provide better info message what NBD connection is waiting for.
• Call flush() on NBD connection during restore: restore of domains
  with multiple disks could fail with NbdConnectionTimeout due to race
  condition (#163)
• Pass pidFile to qemu-nbd process for local NBD server during restore,
  report PID of forked process instead of parent.

Full Changelog: v2.1...v2.2

Version 2.1

Version 2.1

  updated with wrong values and as result progressed too fast for the amount of
  data actually written.

• Update README

Full Changelog: v1.9.54...v1.9.55

Version 1.9.54

Version 1.9.54

• Exit with error if both compress option and raw output format
  is specified: options are mutually exclusive.
• Update progressbar during chunked data read/write. If big portions
  of the disk are backed up, it would appear as if no progress is made
  (#133)
• If an active remote backup is aborted (ctrl+c), stopping the libvirt backup job
  failed because the signal is sent to the used ssh connection, too. Now the
  signal handler attempts to re establish the connection to the remote system
  in order to correctly stop the backup operation.
• Add close() function to libvirt client class: disconnect libvirt after
  backup has finished.
• virtnbdmap: code reorg.

• virtnbdrestore: if starting NBD service on remote system fails, catch
  exceptions accordingly.
• virtnbdrestore: if --nbd-ip parameter is set, pass -b option to qemu-nbd
  command so the NDB service binds to specified IP address.
• virtnbdrestore: Set SSH session mode to UPLOAD, otherwise uploading
  files such as UEFI images and vm config fails.
• virtnbdrestore: Catch exception if connection to libvirt fails
• virtnbdrestore: Create target directory on remote system only if it does
  not exist, Thanks @draggeta
• CI: enhance remote backup check: test if UEFI loader files are copied
  correctly during remote backup.
