Weekly status for the week of 28th August to 3rd September.
Introduction
This past week, the focus was on improving our documentation. Otherwise it was a quiet week with only a few bug fixes.
LXD highlights
Improvements
- Added the
lxcman pages to the reference documentation. - Updated the contribution documentation to help new contributors get started.
- Added a guide to the documentation on how to convert Windows VMs in a vmdk file to LXD using
lxd-migrateandvirt-v2v. - When parsing a version of a command, include the version in the error message.
- The following sub-commands of
lxcnow show in--helpwithout the--allflag;init,monitor,pause, andquery. This was done in order to generate man pages for those commands.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where updating an instance’s configuration concurrently using
lxc config set, randomly returned success but failed to update. - Fixed a bug where bash completion failed to work correctly for projects other than
default. - Fixed a bug where the version of
dnsmasqcouldn’t be parsed correctly due to different language settings on the host.
