This is the latest version submitted to the FreeBSD ports tree (& pkg)

Highlights for this release since the last one (0.8.7)

  • Vastly improved grub support. All grub guests (linux/openbsd/netbsd) get customised grub menus that are accessible from the guest console. Users can let the guest auto-boot, but they always have the option to drop to the grub console. We also have fairly extensive control over the grub-bhyve comdline and loader commands from the guest configuration file.
  • vm add command to add network or disk devices to a guest
  • Various performance improvements
  • Improved logging (we also rotate logs to make sure they don't get too big)
  • Snapshot / Rollback on ZFS
  • Support custom disk paths, allows users to attach disk images that are stored anywhere on the system. This could even be a real disk in /dev.
  • Config options to enable utctime and virtio-rnd
  • Guest network interfaces should be able to auto-attach to bridges that have jumbo frames (non 1500 mtu) enabled
  • We now allow users to use their own custom bridge or tap devices if they want
  • vm info guest & vm switch info name commands which provide lots of information.
  • We now assign static mac addresses to all interfaces. If bhyve generated a different mac automatically, guests like Windows end up configuring it as a new interface.
  • UEFI (& thus Windows) should work in 10.3-RELEASE
  • Ability to set rctl limits
  • Fixes to wired memory support (for PCI passthrough)
