Description David Jorm 2011-02-03 03:55:14 UTC
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.
