Libosinfo 0.2.2 is out!
Changes since 0.2.1:
- Loads of improvements and fixes to installer APIs and scripts. Now they are in
such a good shape that next release of Boxes will make full use of them.
- Add API for information on downloadable device drivers. As a starting point,
information on virtio storage drivers for Windows XP and 7 is provided.
- Add/improve data on:
- RHEL
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows XP
- Enable translations for many (potential) user-visible strings. No
translations submitted yet. :(
- Correct default value for OsinfoMedia::installer-reboots.
- Register enum types with gobject type system.
- Add enum param getter/setter helpers.
- OsinfoList is now instantiable and all its subclasses has been deprecated.
Newer code should use OsinfoList directly.
- Various other fixes and improvements.
What is libosinfo?
=============
libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about
operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can
support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs
to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a
hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all
common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python
(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.
libosinfo is Free Software and licenced under LGPLv2+.
