Cross Platform Action 0.24.0

Added

• Add support for FreeBSD 13.3
• Add support for NetBSD 10.0
• Add support for NetBSD ARM64 (#55)
• Add support for OpenBSD 7.5 (openbsd-builder#16)

Cross Platform Action 0.23.0

Added

• Add support for FreeBSD 14.0 (#74)
• Add post run step that prints the VM output
• Support hardware accelerated virtualization on Linux runners (#47)

Fixed

• OpenBSD VM fails during "Initializing VM" with QEMU on macOS (#73)
• Use same options for rsync in both directions (#76)

Changed

• Update qemu to 8.2.0 for CVTPS2PD fix (#78)

Other

It's now recommended to use Linux runners. Since the upgrade [1] of the Linux runners, they now support hardware accelerated virtualization. The upgrade also comes with more resources resulting in having better performance than the macOS runners.

Cross Platform Action 0.22.0

Added

• Added support for using the action in multiple steps in the same job (#26).
  All the inputs need to be the same for all steps, except for the following
  inputs: sync_files, shutdown_vm and run.

• Added support for specifying that the VM should not shutdown after the action
  has run. This adds a new input parameter: shutdown_vm. When set to false,
  this will hopefully mitigate very frequent freezing of VM during teardown (#61, #72).

Changed

• Always terminate VM instead of shutting down. This is more efficient and this
  will hopefully mitigate very frequent freezing of VM during teardown
  (#61, #72).

• Use unsafe as the cache mode for QEMU disks. This should improve performance (#67).

Cross Platform Action 0.21.1

Fixed

• FreeBSD jobs occasionally fail when ejecting the disk (#64)

Cross Platform Action 0.21.0

Added

• Add support for OpenBSD 7.4 (openbsd-builder#15)

Cross Platform Action 0.20.0

Added

• Add support for disabling file syncing (#65). This adds a new input parameter, sync_files. It allows to specify which directions files should be synced. From the runner to the VM, from the VM to the runner, both or none.

Cross Platform Action 0.19.1

Fixed

• NetBSD - VM doesn't start (#62)

Cross Platform Action 0.19.0

Changed

• VMs running via QEMU only expose SSE and SSE2 CPU features (#60).
  This changes the machine to q35 and the cpu to max, for x86-64 using
  the QEMU hypervisor. This adds more CPU features like AVX and AVX2.

Cross Platform Action 0.18.0

Added

• Add support for custom image URLs (#13)
• Add architecture alias for x86-64: x64 (#58)

Cross Platform Action 0.17.0

Changed

• Bump QEMU to 8.0.3 (resources#3)
