0.26.0 - 2024-04-12
- Add support for FreeBSD 13.4
- Add support for OpenBSD 7.6 (openbsd-builder#20)
- Add support for FreeBSD 14.2
0.25.0 - 2024-07-11
- Add support for NetBSD 9.4
- Add support for FreeBSD 14.1
-
Support for macOS runners has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The reason for using macOS runners in the past has been because of the support for hardware accelerated nested virtualization using the Hypervisor framework. Since the creation of this action, the Ubuntu runners have been upgraded with better performance and added support for hardware accelerated nested virtualization using KVM. QEMU is also more stable when using KVM compared to the Hypervisor framework. Please use the
ubuntu-latest
runner instead. -
The Xhyve hypervisor has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. QEMU will be the only available hypervisor. The reason being maintenance of the Xhyve hypervisor seemed to have stopped. It's also starting to become next to impossible to build on later versions of macOS. Please switch to the QEMU hypervisor by switching to the
ubuntu-latest
runner. -
The
hypervisor
input parameter has been deprecated will be removed in a future release. The reason being support for the Xhyve hypervisor has been deprecated, making this input parameter redundant. Please remove the use of thehypervisor
input parameter and switch to theubuntu-latest
runner.
0.24.0 - 2024-04-12
- Add support for FreeBSD 13.3
- Add support for NetBSD 10.0
- Add support for NetBSD ARM64 (#55)
- Add support for OpenBSD 7.5 (openbsd-builder#16)
0.23.0 - 2024-02-18
- Add support for FreeBSD 14.0 (#74)
- Add post run step that prints the VM output
- Support hardware accelerated virtualization on Linux runners (#47)
- OpenBSD VM fails during "Initializing VM" with QEMU on macOS (#73)
- Use same options for rsync in both directions (#76)
- Update qemu to 8.2.0 for CVTPS2PD fix (#78)
0.22.0 - 2023-12-27
-
Added support for using the action in multiple steps in the same job (#26). All the inputs need to be the same for all steps, except for the following inputs:
sync_files
,shutdown_vm
andrun
. -
Added support for specifying that the VM should not shutdown after the action has run. This adds a new input parameter:
shutdown_vm
. When set tofalse
, this will hopefully mitigate very frequent freezing of VM during teardown (#61, #72).
-
Always terminate VM instead of shutting down. This is more efficient and this will hopefully mitigate very frequent freezing of VM during teardown (#61, #72).
-
Use
unsafe
as the cache mode for QEMU disks. This should improve performance (#67).
0.21.1 - 2023-11-03
- FreeBSD jobs occasionally fail when ejecting the disk (#64)
0.21.0 - 2023-10-26
- Add support for OpenBSD 7.4 (openbsd-builder#15)
0.20.0 - 2023-10-24
- Add support for disabling file syncing (#65).
This adds a new input parameter,
sync_files
. It allows to specify which directions files should be synced. From the runner to the VM, from the VM to the runner, both or none.
0.19.1 - 2023-10-07
- NetBSD - VM doesn't start (#62)
0.19.0 - 2023-08-17
- VMs running via QEMU only expose SSE and SSE2 CPU features (#60).
This changes the machine to
q35
and the cpu tomax
, for x86-64 using the QEMU hypervisor. This adds more CPU features like AVX and AVX2.
