🎀 guestfs-release-notes — the manual page, but make it a group chat 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to guestfs-release-notes, aka the libguestfs Release Notes index 💖 this whole page is basically a link hub — every release of libguestfs has its own little notes page and this one is the mothership that points at all of them. no cap, it's giving "table of contents but make it lore" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

guestfs-release-notes — libguestfs Release Notes 🦋

💅 RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGUESTFS AFTER 2010 💅

these are the icons, the main characters, the ones with their own man pages 🫶 tap any of them and get the full tea on that release:

🌸 RELEASE NOTES FOR HISTORICAL VERSIONS OF LIBGUESTFS 🌸

so here's the thing — before 2010, libguestfs did not have official release notes, and there was no formalized version numbering system either 🙈 like, the vibes were there but the paperwork was not. but some of those early drops were historically significant, so here are the links, preserved like little museum pieces 🏛️💜
