In release v1.0.0 of runV and hyperstart, we introduced several significant updates and fixed many bugs to make runV production ready. The featured updates include:

• Compatibility:
  • compatible with the most recent 1.0 of OCI runtime specification;
  • compatible with the latest CNCF containerd;
  • compatible with the latest Docker (17.06.1-ee and later).
• New hypervisor architectures support:
  • xenpv driver, with the latest Xen 4.9, we could launch runV with very minimal performance penalty (<5 % in most scenarios) on instance of Google GCE and other IaaS platform;
  • kvmtool driver brings the offical ARM support to runV.
• Feature update:
  • Read-only rootfs: allows runV to launch with read-only rootfs;
  • support vhostuser network card for qemu driver, which enables the low latency network for scenarios such as NFV.
• Many other feature or test improvements, and many bug fix.

Thanks the contribution from Huawei, ARM, Intel, Alibaba, and other individuals.

Fix some oci compatible issues and update docs. Enable more tests.

some issues were fixed after refactor, and major testes set was added.

In 1.0, runV refactored the command line processing. And improved the compatibility with oci spec and containerd.

This is a bugfix release of 0.8:

• Enable vSock, a communication channel between host and guest.
• Kubernetes CRI compatibility issues.
• Container IO stream issues.
• Fixed the Xen build.

• Kubernetes CRI semantics support.
• Arch: support ARM64 CPUs with GIC version3, e.g. Cavium ThunderX 64-core CPU.
• Move all the Pod level logic to hyperd, and runV only maintains the sandbox and containers.
• Simplify the model and state machine -- one Pod is one VM.

• Support system arch s390x and ppc64le (#312)
• Support system arch ARM64 (#360)
• Enable VM template for runV and runV-containerd, which improves the boot performance to 130ms and reduces 80MB memory consumption per container. (#303, #304)
• Enable CNI, OVS and improve the networking configurations. (#286, #307)
• Add QoS Control for network interface. (#331)
• Allow one volume to be mounted to multiple mount points of one container. (#329)
• Improve streaming IO for containers
• Move dependencies from Godep to vendors
• Many other fixes and improvements

Together with HyperContainer 0.6.2, the runv 0.6.2 released.

• add route and portmapping support
• qemu daemonize/log refactor
• vm template(basic) support
• runv namespaced refacor
• add CNI support for runv-oci container
• add rbd IO throttle support

Together with Hyper 0.6.0, the runV 0.6.0 released.

Together with Hyper 0.5.0, the runV 0.5.0 released.
