Along with the usual collection of new features, fixes and improvements, the following are some of the more noteworthy highlights since the previous LTS release: <span class="anchor" id="line-72"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-73"></span><ul><li>Networking - Included Open vSwitch 2.0.1 support (including VXLAN), better bonding support, better bridge management and diagnosis and new buffer bloat avoidance measures. We also introduce better TCP connection management in the face of packet loss, plus TCP fastopen and improved attack tolerance. Intel wifi 6K/7K support was included as well as Infiniband stack updates to provide Mellanox RDMA and VXLAN support. Finally, we see the first stages of the switch to nftables, which should see incremental improvements to network security. <span class="anchor" id="line-74"></span></li><li>Scheduling - the default I/O scheduler was changed from CFQ to Deadline. <span class="anchor" id="line-75"></span></li><li><p class="line862">Thermal and Power Management - Power management and efficiency continues to be a focus and we saw the inclusion of the Intel RPL (Running AVerage Power Limit) support for enforcing and monitoring power limits on modern Intel processors. Additionally, we saw the introduction of the Intel <a class="nonexistent" href="/PowerClamp">PowerClamp</a> driver for improved power efficiency. We also disabled intel_pstate by default as we witnessed poor behavior on some systems (<a class="interwiki" href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1188647" title="Bug">1188647</a>) <span class="anchor" id="line-76"></span></li><li>Virtualization - As well as major improvements to Xen and KVM (including ARM support for both), we also see VMware support, full support for KVM 2.0.0 (including QEMU KVM), version 1.2.2 of libvirt and the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Alongside general performance improvements in the virtio subsystems, support for namespaces in containers was also introduced and we finally saw support for unprivileged containers. <span class="anchor" id="line-77"></span></li><li>Filesystems - general performance and latency improvements have been made across the board for filesystems such as Btrfs, XFS, and Ext4. Metadata checksumming and improved quota support for Btrfs, XFS, and Ext4 have been included as well as Ext2/3 support via the Ext4 driver. <span class="anchor" id="line-78"></span></li><li><p class="line862">Security - Improvements to <a href="/AppArmor">AppArmor</a> allow more fine-grained control over applications. See <a class="https" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#AppArmor">detailed AppArmor release notes</a> below. The Integrity Measurement Architecture has also been enabled. Packaging updates for signed kernels were also performed as well as EFI boot support. <span class="anchor" id="line-79"></span></li><li>Hardware support - ARM multiplatform support has been added, enabling you to build a single ARM kernel image that can boot across multiple hardware platforms. Additionally, the ARM64 and Power architectures are now fully supported. X32 ABI support (64-bit mode with 32-bit pointers) was also introduced. We also saw copious amounts of HW enablement such as support for Intel Haswell processors, Lynx Point chipsets, Avoton SoC support, i915 driver support for Broadwell graphics, AMD Kabini and Kaveri APU enablement, AMD Sea Islands GPU enablement, and ARM64 APM X-Gene platform support. Also, Ubuntu kernel flavors and architectures were cleaned up with the removal of the i386 generic-pae flavor and eliminating armel architecture support. <span class="anchor" id="line-80"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-81"></span></li></ul><p class="line867"> <h3 id="Python_3.4">Python 3.4</h3> <span class="anchor" id="line-82"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-83"></span><p class="line862">We eventually intend to ship only <a class="http" href="http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html">Python 3</a> with the Ubuntu desktop image, not Python 2.

This is a significant upgrade from the previous release. Of particular note the xen hypervisor no longer supports 32bit only CPUs on the x86 architecture; 32bit Dom 0 running on the 64bit hypervisor is still supported. The hypervisor will automatically be upgraded to the 64bit version (the Dom 0 does not need to change). Ensure your host is 64bit capable _before_ upgrading. <span class="anchor" id="line-198"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-199"></span><p class="line874">Also the XM (xend) management stack has been deprecated since Xen 4.1 and will be removed in the next version of Xen (4.5). Therefore we urge all users to start using the new xl toolstack. For that reason the default toolstack setting (/etc/default/xen) is changed to xl. <span class="anchor" id="line-200"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-201"></span><p class="line862">The format of normal configuration files is mostly identical, only usage of Python inside the config file is <a class="http" href="http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/MigrationGuideToXen4.1%2B#Toolstack_upgrade_notes">no longer supported</a>. Also managed domains, which were managed by xend and stored in a different (sxpr) format will need to be migrated. When upgrading to Xen-4.4 an automatic migration of xend managed domains into xen and libvirt config files is attempted. However, due to many dependencies, this is failing more often than not. So when upgrade has been done and the host is running the new Xen hypervisor, the migration into xen config files can be started by calling "sudo /usr/lib/xen-4.4/bin/xen-migrate-xend-managed-domains". The resulting config files are written into /etc/xen and should be reviewed before usage. <span class="anchor" id="line-202"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-203"></span><p class="line874">Likewise, when libvirt is used to manage machines, the xend managed domains can be migrated into libvirt xml definitions by calling "sudo libvirt-migrate-xend-managed-domains". The resulting definitions should also get reviewed before usage (either virt-manager, virsh or looking in /etc/libvirt/libxl). <span class="anchor" id="line-204"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-205"></span><p class="line874">Once the new VM configs are working, it is recommended to remove the old ones (/var/lib/xend/domains/).
