Boxes 3.7.90



Hello gentle good people,

Announcing another release in the 3.7.x unstable cycle. Changes since 3.7.5:

- Add oVirt support.
- Add support for post-installation drivers. This combined with libosinfo 0.2.4
  means automatic installation of QXL and all virio drivers, and spice-vdagent
  as part of Windows XP express installation.
- VM properties:
  - Mark recommended RAM and storage when known.
  - The 1M step and minimum we use for RAM is too small. Bump it to 64M.
  - The 1G step value we use for storage is too big. Decrease it to 256M.
- Don't use IEC units for storage in wizard and properties.
- Fix crash when passing media on command line.
- Fix an infinite loop.
- Fix positioning of thumbnail in properties view.
- Adapt media detection code against latest udev and libosinfo.
- More rebust media detection.
- More robust restart of installations.
- Ensure driver installation progress always reaches 100% even if an error
  occurs during the installation.
- Allow search with multiple terms. A search like "foo bar" now means name
  containing "foo" and "bar". This is nicer, and what you expect from e.g.
  gnome-shell search.
- Update to the new gnome-shell search interface.
- Added/updated/fixed translations:
  - Galician
  - Greek
  - Malayalam
  - Polish
  - Serbian
  - Slovenian
  - Spanish
  - Traditional Chinese
  - Turkish
  - Uyghur
- Some other functional and non-functional improvements and fixes.

Dependencies changed:

- spice-client-gtk-3.0 >= 0.15
- govirt-1.0 >= 0.0.3 (Conditional: Without it, oVirt support is disabled).
