Detail is in the man pages, but the new/changed features are: * -op and -osd command line options continue to be supported, but are deprecated in favour of -os. There is no deprecation warning when they're used. * -of command line option allows specification of the file format which will be used for target storage: raw or qcow2. This allows, e.g. a guest with raw storage to convert to qcow2 storage and vice versa. * -oa command line option allows the allocation policy of the target storage to be specified: sparse or preallocated. This can be used to convert between sparse and preallocated. Underlying this change, sparse volumes are now supported. * The config file can now contain target 'profiles' which specify a target's storage location, output format and allocation policy. This allows the user to specify --profile <foo> rather than -os <a> -op <b> -oa <oc>. See man virt-v2v.conf for details. * We support Windows XP again, as long as the latest virtio-win package is installed. * We support conversion of Windows guests to libvirt targets, not just RHEV targets.
