* For a complete list of changes and bug fixes see,
https://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v-release-notes-2.10.1.html
* In -o kubevirt output mode, new -oo disk and -oo create options
let you respectively override the output disk names, and
avoid disk creation, letting you pre-create disks before running virt-v2v.
* VDDK: A new -io vddk-compression option lets you enable
compression for data read over the network.
* VDDK: -io vddk-thumbprint is now optional. If omitted, virt-v2v
will automatically work it out from the VMware server.
* New --memsize and --smp options which let you override the
default amount of memory and number of vCPUs assigned to the
appliance.
* virt-v2v-inspector(1) now detects Windows Antivirus and Group
policy, and if found adds <windows_antivirus/> and
<windows_group_policy/> elements respectively.
* The following virt-v2v options have been removed:
-io vddk-noextents
--sm* options

* New virt-v2v-open(1) tool.
* Windows Server 2025 is supported (thanks Ming Xie).
* Two features have been added to enhance data integrity.
* The UEFI secureboot property is now modelled correctly, and
(for outputs which support it) is reflected in the output
metadata (thanks Daniel Berrange, Andrea Bolognani, Ming Xie).
* Parallel disk copies are now possible, using the --parallel=N
option. The default behaviour is still to do serial copies.
* virt-v2v-in-place(1) has a new -O option. This generates the
same output as virt-v2v-inspector(1), allowing callers to
combine both passes into one.
* Virtio-win driver selection has been made more robust.
(Cole Robinson)
* We now check filesystem integrity (using tools like fsck(8))
before and after conversion, to ensure both that we fully
understand the filesystem before conversion and that no
corruption has happened during conversion. At the moment this
is only implemented for Btrfs, ext4 and XFS.
* Removed features
Handling of kmod-xenpv has been removed. (Cole Robinson).
--compressed: Use -oo compressed instead.
--no-trim: This did nothing.
--password-file: Use --ip instead.
--qemu-boot: Use -oo qemu-boot instead.
--vddk-*: Use --io vddk-* instead.
--vdsm-*: Use --oo vdsm-* instead.
--vmtype: This did nothing.

* You can now use most virt-customize(1) options, such as
installing arbitrary firstboot scripts, uploading or editing
files, etc. during conversions.
* Installation of QEMU Guest Agent in Windows guests has been
revised and made much more reliable. Note that a visible effect

times during the first boot after conversion (which is
necessary). (Thanks Vadim Rozenfeld, Konstantin Kostiuk, Yuri
Benditovich, Yan Vugenfirer).

statistics gathering for these guests.

specifying whether the guest needs BIOS or UEFI to boot.

to be empty (Arik Hadas).
