Guest agents for OpenSUSE and Ubuntu provides ovirt-guest-agent packages for these Linux distributions.

SPICE proxy lets users define a proxy that will be used by SPICE clients to connect to virtual machines. The SPICE proxy is useful when the user (for example, using user portal) is outside of the network where the hypervisors reside.

SSO (Single Sign-On) method control enables users to switch between various SSO methods in the user interface. The first version of the patch only allows switching between guest agent SSO (current approach) and disabling SSO.

The "init persistent" feature allows persistent storage of Windows Sysprep and Cloud-Init data in the database. By persisting this data, administrators can create a template for initializing virtual machines.

The "guest reboot" feature enables users to restart virtual machines with a single command.

The "template versioning" feature makes it possible to add new versions to existing templates by selecting a virtual machine and using it to create a new version of a template with the Create as a Sub Template version check box enabled.

Previously, a snapshot represented a single point in time that contained the configuration of the virtual machine and all disks attached to the virtual machine. Creating, previewing, and committing a snapshot had to be done on the entire virtual machine - including all the disks.

The "single-disk snapshots" feature removes that constraint by allowing the exclusion of disks from a snapshot.

This feature also makes it possible to create a customized snapshot composed of configuration and disks from multiple snapshots.

It is now possible to attach read-only disks to VMs. This allows limiting the VM's (user's) actions and usage of the disk.

This is a property of the disk-VM relationship, and not of the disk itself, which can be attached to one VM as "rw" and to another as "ro". Mounting a journaled file system requires read-write access, so using the read-only option is not appropriate for guest disks that contain such file systems (for instance, ext3, ext4 and xfs).
