+3.3.3 - Dec 19, 2011
+====================
+
+Changes since 3.3.2:
+
+- Instead of manually writing the libvirt's XML strings, we now make use of
+ libvirt-gconfig to deal with the XML for us.
+- Protect user from accidental deletion of boxes by providing an 'undo' button
+ until after 6 seconds of deletion.
+- Rely on libvirt for automatic assignment of unique SPICE port for new VMs.
+- Don't destroy boxes on reboot.
+- Also entertain medias of i686 architecture.
+- Define a log domain for easier filtering of console log.
+- Adapt to libosinfo 0.0.3 API for better OS media detection.
+- Make the VM thumbnail in the properties view insensitive.
+- Box creation wizard:
+ - Make wizard topbar a real toolbar. This way, the window can be moved, and it
+ can be styled correctly.
+ - Only return from wizard to collection view if box creation succeeds.
+ - Skip directly to 'Preparation' step when URI is passed through commandline
+ argument.
+ - Bump default storage allocation to 20 GiB.
+ - This should be adequate storage for most OSs out there.
+ - We use the dynamically growing storage format (qcow2) so actual
+ amount of disk space used is completely dependent on the OS.
+ - Special handling of live and unknown OS media:
+ - Create initially transient box and only make it permanent if media
+ installs anything on the storage.
+ - Skip 'Setup' and 'Review' pages.
+ - Only boot new VMs from hard drive after something is actually installed on
+ the storage.
+ - Accept path for URI as well.
+ - More details at summary page on VM creation.
+ - Express installation:
+ - Actually update the settings after the first install of an OS.
+ - UI to set admin and user password.
+ - UI for specifying product key for Windows XP and 2003. Note that product
+ keys are not required by recent Windows (Vista, 7 and 2008) installers.
+ - Install QXL on Fedora guests to take full advantage of SPICE's efficiency.
+ - Enable X/graphics for Fedora.
+ - Add user to admin group for Fedora.
+ - Automatically timezone and keyboard layout setup. This currently only
+ works for Fedora.
+ - Automatically language setup. Currently it only works for Windows 7,
+ Windows 2008 and Fedora.
+ - Fix user account setup for Windows 7 and 2008.
+ - Fix some fundamental issues with Windows 2008. Now at least most of
+ installation is automated.
+ - Fix express installation floppy image and in turn express installation of
+ Microsoft Windows XP.
+- Added/updated translations
+ - Polish
+ - Swedish
+- Various other functional and non-functional improvements and fixes.
+
+Dependencies changed:
+
+- libvirt-glib >= 0.0.3
+- libvirt-gconfig >= 0.0.3
+- spice-gtk >= 0.7.81
+- libosinfo >=0.0.3
