New
v49.0
This release has been tracked in v49.0 group of our roadmap project.
MSHV Support Improvements
On AArch64 with MSHV, firmware boot (#7391) and graceful guest shutdown (#7354) are now supported, and CI coverage has been added (#7381).
Logging Improvements
Logs now use an improved timestamp format (#7355), emit an explicit message on graceful shutdown (#7346), and reduce noisy warnings with newer guest kernels (#7423).
Removed Default IP and Mask for virtio-net Devices
The implicit default IP (192.168.249.1) and netmask (255.255.255.0) for devices have been removed, as previously announced in the deprecation notice two releases ago (#7365). Users now can create devices with no IP and netmask assigned.
