- `qvm-template list`: show template state
- `qvm-template list`: only call qubes.TemplateSearch once
- `qvm-template list`: use `qubesadmin.tools.print_table()` instead of own implementation
- `qvm-template download`: custom progress bar
- Use `run_service` instead of own implementation
- Remove some erroneous/redundant lines
Do not require permission to list sys-gui itself just to get keyboard
layout. Listing itself is not sensitive (sys-gui knows it exists), but
it will make other tools request its properties, which may not be
desirable.
qubesd socket protocol is changed in qubes-core-dom0 4.1.12 and also in
this release. Ensure matching versions are installed.
Note the python3-qubesadmin package can be installed in VM too and the
socket protocol applies only to dom0 case - use Conflicts instead of
Requires for this reason (to not break installation in the VM).
Application that runs EventsDispatcher can safely use also cache , which
greatly improve performance. This is because cache then is properly
updated/invalidated when needed.
Instead of modifying each application to explicitly enable cache based
on this simple rule, make it implicit when EventsDispatcher is created.
Do not enable caching when EventsDispatcher is created only temporarily
in wait_for_domain_shutdown.

Both tools issue a large number of Admin API calls and greatly benefit
from a cache filled with a single per-vm Admin API call
(admin.vm.property.GetAll). In case of qvm-ls, this also saves multiple
admin.vm.CurrentState calls (power state is given in the admin.vm.List
response too).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3293
Power state changes are signaled with events too, so it is possible to
cache it and update/invalidate cache with events.
Additionally, admin.vm.List returns a power state, so the cache can be
populated early. This in particular greatly improves qvm-ls performance -
eliminate admin.vm.CurrentState call at all.
