=head2 New repository location

The upstream git repository is now: L<https://github.com/libguestfs/guestfs-tools>

=head2 virt-customize

New I<--inject-blnsvr> which can be used to inject the Windows memory balloon server into guests.

I<--inject-virtio-win> no longer supports the C<osinfo> method (use libosinfo for virtio-win driver information), as it is no longer maintained and had got quite out of date.  The default method using virtio-win directory names is more reliable and preferred in all instances (Cole Robinson).

=head2 virt-drivers

Handle large output of the L<rpm(1)> command when listing drivers in some SUSE guests.

=head2 virt-make-fs

Use the L<file(1)> I<-S> option to disable seccomp protection when we also use the L<file(1)> I<-z> option, as the two options are incompatible and cause crashes on some Linux distros.

=head2 virt-resize

Correct the calculation of the target disk.  In some cases with the I<--resize> option it was not calculated correctly and partition creation on the target would fail with a confusing error.

We now use stderr consistently for debug messages.

=head2 Common changes

Add support for LoongArch (liuxiang from Loongson).

Fix OCaml bytecode builds (Jerry James, Ilya Leoshkevich).

Allow C<nbd+unix://> URIs in I<-a> parameters to several tools.

Add a git-publish profile (Kashyap Chamarthy).

=head2 Зміни у збиранні

json-c is now required.  This replaces Jansson which was previously used for parsing JSON input files.

OCaml E<ge> 4.08 is now required.

OCaml oUnit is no longer used.

We now assume that C<__attribute__((cleanup))> always works.  This requires gcc or Clang.

Add support for GCC 14 and 15.

Some deprecated autoconf macros are no longer used.

Fix some issues when building on macOS (Mohamed Akram).

=head2 Внутрішня частина роботи програми

The tests were modified to use a set of common functions and remove use of the weird C<$TEST_FUNCTIONS> macro, similar to how we do it in nbdkit.

Some internal OCaml List and String functions that we used have been replaced by ones from the OCaml stdlib, reducing code maintenance.

Fix compatibility with GNU gettext 0.25.
