Ivan Kardykov edited this page Dec 25, 2020 · 1 revision

In comparison with the original ITL's Qubes Tools qwt-crossbuild contains several in-progress improvements:

  • rebuild QWT utils (mingw, x86, x86_64) (QI#5065)
  • include updated xen pv drivers (8.2.2)
  • prepare reproducible/deterministic build (binaries only)
  • hide command prompt windows during setup execution (WixQuiteExec)
  • sign and install drivers without prompt (libwdi-based pkihelper utility)
  • avoid high cpu consumption (move qga CreateEvent outside an event processing loop) (QI#3418)
  • use dhcp instead of network setup service
  • stop disabling audio services while R4.1 have audio support for HVM
  • disable Windows recovery console with preparation script
  • remove format dialog (diskpart instead of prepare-volume) (QI#5090, QI#5768)
  • support Qubes-r4.1 (qrexec v2 backward compatibility)
  • fix qvideo early restart error (QI#5864)
  • fix qvideo incorrect destroy procedure (possibly fixes BSOD 0x50)
  • fix installer relocate-dir fails on Windows 10 due to special reparse points (QI#5093)
  • fix halting DispVM right after start (QI#4369)
