Plaivid 7.1 Release Notes

This page presents the new features and major improvements of the 7.1 family of Plaivid releases. Purely internal changes that have no direct impact on users are not included in this list.

Versions 7.1.0 through 7.1.10​

This set of releases includes infrastructure development, the addition of storage capabilities, and improvements to Plaivid's core modules.

New Features​

  • The CSV format was added to the list of MIME types supported by File Upload (Fileload). As a result, CSV files are now correctly detected and processed.

  • The USBFS storage type was added to PVM. This feature enables the use of USB-based file systems as storage space.

  • As part of preparing the infrastructure for Rakaard 2, Terminal access and internal file transfer capabilities were expanded and integrated with the Plaivid infrastructure.

Improvements​

  • The performance and behavior of the Log module were improved.

  • The Saxon module, used for XQuery processing, was updated.

  • The APIs provided by the Monitor module were improved.

  • Multiple improvements were made to the Broker, PVM Object, Talk, Job, and User modules.

  • The PVM service management process was redesigned. In the new structure, a newly launched hypervisor node goes through a controlled process to reach full operational status. During this process, cluster services, shared storage, and the core components of the PVM infrastructure are launched and made ready for use.

Version 7.1.11​

This version introduces new capabilities for cloning virtual machines and increases the concurrent file-processing capacity of MultiAV.

New Features​

  • The VM Clone Task module was added. Using this module, VM clone operations run as a Task and provide the following capabilities:

    • Viewing clone operation progress
    • Keeping a history of executed operations
    • Displaying and reporting errors
    • Cloning a virtual machine while it is powered on

  • The Sandbox Pool feature was added to MultiAV. This feature allows multiple instances of the same antivirus engine to process scan requests simultaneously. The result of this change is increased capacity and speed in file scanning operations.

Improvements​

  • The data transfer structure in the VM Replicate module was updated so that the dd and QEMU transfer methods are managed independently.

  • Internal messaging between nodes was optimized. This change reduces unnecessary encryption operations and increases the efficiency of inter-node communication.

  • The display of Task progress in the Storage module was improved so that the status of long-running operations is shown with greater accuracy.

Version 7.1.12​

This version focuses on developing download capabilities in INAD and improving Container management.

New Features​
