Introduction
The minimega team is pleased to announce the release of minimega 2.9. This release contains new features for copy & paste and tracking miniccc tunnels. There are also additional changes to clean up the repository.
Major changes and new features
[minimega] Add support for copy and paste (#1520)
This feature allows copy and pasting into VMs using the textbox provided by noVNC. There are two modes copy and paste operates in.
By default all VMs will support “primitive paste”. Any ASCII text put into the noVNC buffer will be directly typed into the VM.
Bidirectional copy and paste can be enabled on a per-vm basis which allows use of ctrl+c and ctrl+v inside the VM. The noVNC clipboard mirrors the VM’s clipboard. Bidirectional copy and paste requires 1) QEMU 6.1+ with the qemu-vdagent and 2) The spice agent installed in the VM.

[minitunnel] track tunneled ports for listing and closing (#1509)
cc tunnel allows users to tunnel TCP connections to a local port through a VM. This feature adds two additional commands: cc tunnel list and cc tunnel close. This allows for the ability to track and close tunnels after they are created.
[igor] Remove igor source (#1523)
igor has been removed from the minimega repository. Earlier this year, igor2 released in its own repository here: https://github.com/sandia-minimega/igor2
