3.3.90 - Feb 20, 2012
=====================

Changes since 3.3.5.1:

- Box creation wizard:
   - Present bootable medias and user's ISO files on 'Source' page. For
     fetching/tracking user's ISOs, we make use of Tracker.
   - Teach the Wizard to accept 'qemu..://' sources.
   - Move to 'Preparation' once file/media is selected.
   - Display notification against errors during 'prepare' and 'create' steps.
     In case of 'prepare', we go back to previous step since user is very
     likely to be able to fix the issue.
   - Add mnemonic accelerator to 'Continue' button.
- More reliable tracking of installations. Previously, Boxes used to forget
  ongoing installations once user quit the application and that would lead
  to installations looping forever.
- Don't take post-installation steps for saved domains. Saved domains are
  stopped as well so them being stopped doesn't mean that first boot is done
  and its time to perform post install setup.
- Launch new domain in fullscreen, unless express installations is going to be
  performed on it.
- Make user deletion work for saved VMs.
- Leave fullscreen when going back to collection view.
- Fix the white triangle stats graph.
- Ability to disable source by manually editing source file. Useful for
  debugging.
- Added/updated translations:
  - Polish
  - Italian

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.
