v0.16.0

Toggle v0.16.0's commit message
Added

* Added [alpha] AMD support.
* New `devtool` command: `prepare_release`. This updates the Firecracker
  version, crate dependencies and credits in preparation for a new release.
* New `devtool` command: `tag`. This creates a new git tag for the specified
  release number, based on the changelog contents.
* New doc section about building with glibc.

Changed

* Dropped the JSON-formatted `context` command-line parameter from Firecracker
  in favor of individual classic command-line parameters.
* When running with `jailer` the location of the API socket has changed to
  `<jail-root-path>/api.socket` (API socket was moved _inside_ the jail).
* `PUT` and `PATCH` requests on `/mmds` with data containing any value type other
  than `String`, `Array`, `Object` will return status code 400.
* Improved multiple error messages.
* Removed all kernel modules from the recommended kernel config.

Fixed

* Corrected the seccomp filter when building with glibc.

Removed

* Removed the `seccomp.bad_syscalls` metric.

v0.15.2

Toggle v0.15.2's commit message
Fixed

* Corrected the conditional compilation of the seccomp rule for madvise.

v0.15.1

Toggle v0.15.1's commit message
Fixed

* A madvise call issued by the musl allocator was added to the seccomp
whitelist to prevent Firecracker from terminating abruptly when
allocating memory in certain conditions.

v0.15.0

Toggle v0.15.0's commit message
Added

* New API action: SendCtrlAltDel, used to initiate a graceful shutdown,
  if the guest has driver support for i8042 and AT Keyboard. See
  [the docs](docs/api_requests/actions.md#sendctrlaltdel) for details.
* New metric counting the number of egress packets with a spoofed MAC:
  `net.tx_spoofed_mac_count`.
* New API call: `PATCH /network-interfaces/`, used to update the rate limiters
  on a network interface, after the start of a microVM.

Changed

* Added missing `vmm_version` field to the InstanceInfo API swagger
  definition, and marked several other mandatory fields as such.
* New default command line for guest kernel:
  `reboot=k panic=1 pci=off nomodules 8250.nr_uarts=0
  i8042.noaux i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.dumbkbd`.

Fixed

* virtio-blk: VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH now working as expected.
* Vsock devices can be attached when starting Firecracker using the jailer.
* Vsock devices work properly when seccomp filtering is enabled.

  `dev-machine-setup.md`.
* Documentation for microVM networking setup in `docs/network-setup.md`.
* Limit the maximum supported vCPUs to 32.

* Pretty print panic information.
* Firecracker terminates with exit code 148 when a non-whitelisted syscall

v0.13.0

Toggle v0.13.0's commit message
Added

* Documentation for Logger API Requests in `docs/api_requests/logger.md`.
* Documentation for Actions API Requests in `docs/api_requests/actions.md`.
* Documentation for MMDS in `docs/mmds.md`.
* Flush metrics on request via a PUT `/actions` with the `action_type`
  field set to `FlushMetrics`.

Changed

* Updated the swagger definition of the `Logger` to specify the required fields
  and provide default values for optional fields.
* Default `seccomp-level` is `2` (was previously 0).
* API Resource IDs can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores.

Fixed

* Seccomp filters are now applied to all Firecracker threads.
* Enforce minimum length of 1 character for the jailer ID.
* Exit with error code when starting the jailer process fails.

Removed

* Removed `InstanceHalt` from the list of possible actions.

v0.12.0

Toggle v0.12.0's commit message
Added

* The `/logger` API has a new field called `options`. This is an array of
  strings that specify additional logging configurations. The only supported
  value is `LogDirtyPages`.
* When the `LogDirtyPages` option is configured via `PUT /logger`, a new metric
  called `memory.dirty_pages` is computed as the number of pages dirtied by the
  guest since the last time the metric was flushed.
* Log messages on both graceful and forceful termination.
* Availability of the list of dependencies for each commit inside the code base.
* Documentation on vsock experimental feature and host setup recommendations.

Changed
* `PUT` requests on `/mmds` always return 204 on success.
* `PUT` operations on `/network-interfaces` API resources no longer accept
  the previously required `state` parameter.
* The jailer starts with `--seccomp-level=2` (was previously 0) by default.
* Log messages use `anonymous-instance` as instance id if none is specified.

Fixed
* Fixed crash upon instance start on hosts without 1GB huge page support.
* Fixed "fault_message" inconsistency between Open API specification and
  code base.
* Ensure MMDS compatibility with C5's IMDS implementation.
* Corrected the swagger specification to ensure `OpenAPI 2.0` compatibility.

* Improved [readme](README.md) and added links to more detailed information,
  now featured in subject-specific docs.
