Weekly status for the week of 5th May to 18th May.

Introduction

Last week, the LXD team gathered in Frankfurt for the Engineering Sprint to plan the next six-month development cycle. This meant it was a quieter period for development, but nevertheless, some improvements still made their way into LXD.

Additionally, for those that build LXD from source, the process is now a bit simpler, as liblxc is taken from the upstream Git repository instead of using globally installed package.

Thanks to all the contributors!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where renaming an instance NIC caused an address conflict due to the old device name still being treated as active.

  • Fixed an issue where the instance’s backup file wasn’t updated after changes to the storage pool or root volume.

  • Fixed an issue where migrating an instance between storage pools caused loss of authentication group permissions (e.g. can_edit).

  • Fixed an issue where the target query parameter was ignored when retrieving storage volume snapshots.

  • Fixed an issue where the server certificate could be deleted causing issues in cluster communication. Now, the cluster member must be removed instead.

  • Fixed an issue where instance NIC with invalid configuration could not be removed. (from Incus)

  • Improved various error messages for clarity, mainly in the CLI (lxc) and migration API.
