LXC 1.1.5 release announcement

9 nov. 2015
This is the fifth bugfix release for LXC 1.1.

Core:

  • Fix handling of process title rename (now only on >= 3.19 kernels)
  • Several improvements to overlayfs/aufs handling
    • Needed directories are created if missing
    • Better handling of absolute paths
    • Better handling of cloning overlayfs containers
  • Ignore trailing /init.scope in cgroup paths (needed for newer systemd)
  • Allow checkpoint/restore of containers using non-bridged veth devices
  • Properly initialize error_num (exit code tracking for the container)
  • lxc-usernsexec: Re-open fds 0,1,2 separately (only if stdin is a tty)

Init scripts:

  • lxc-net: Start after network-online.target

Commands:

  • lxc-start: Allow preserving the PID namespace too

Templates:

  • archlinux: Fix systemd-sysctl service
  • ubuntu-cloud: Use tar.xz tarballs by default (as tar.gz will soon be discontinued)
  • ubuntu-cloud: Always exit 1 on error
