From 45e11b7f5bfe3d95a76a9f904aa61a11fdbe7aeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew David Wong Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 20:24:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update version 4.0 release notes - Correct "Use HVM" to "Use PVH and HVM" - Link to QSB #37, which explains the use of PVH in addition to HVM - Link directly to the full text of QSB #37. (Normally, linking to a Qubes News post would be preferable. However, since QSB #37 has undergone multiple updates, there is no single Qubes News post that contains the full text of QSB #37. In these circumstnces, readers are less likely to be misled by being taken directly to the full text.) --- releases/4.0/release-notes.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/releases/4.0/release-notes.md b/releases/4.0/release-notes.md index 68ed8216..dc874445 100644 --- a/releases/4.0/release-notes.md +++ b/releases/4.0/release-notes.md @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ New features since 3.2 * [Admin API][admin-api] allowing strictly controlled managing from non-dom0 * All `qvm-*` command-line tools rewritten, some options have changed * Renaming VM directly is prohibited, there is GUI to clone under new name and remove old VM -* [Use HVM by default][hvm-switch] to lower [attack surface on Xen][qsb-24] +* Use [PVH][qsb-37] and [HVM][hvm-switch] by default to lower the [attack surface on Xen][qsb-24] and [mitigate Meltdown & Spectre][qsb-37] * Create USB VM by default * [Multiple Disposable VMs templates support][dispvm-ticket] * New [backup format][backup-format] using scrypt key-derivation function @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ We also provide [detailed instruction][upgrade-to-r4.0] for this procedure.
