I went through the commits since last release and added a few notes
which seem to be relevant for the news.

In case you notice there's something missing, please, either send me the
text to add it (and I'll re-sping this patch) and add the text before
merging this one.

+        utils: Introduce monitor capability interface
+      </change>
+      <description>
+        The resource monitor has been introduced and it creates the interface
+        for getting the host capability of the resource monitor from the system
+        resource control.
+        The resource monitor takes the role of RDT monitoring groups and could
+        be used to monitor the resource consumption information.

+        conf: Introduce RDT monitor host capability
+      </change>
+      <description>
+        Introduce cache monitor (CMT) and memory bandwidth monitor (MBM).
+        For the former (CMT), the host capability is shown like:
+          &lt;host&gt;
+          ...
+            &lt;cache&gt;
+              &lt;bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'&gt;
+                &lt;control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/&gt;
+              &lt;/bank&gt;
+              &lt;monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'&gt;
+                &lt;feature name='llc_occupancy'/&gt;
+              &lt;/monitor&gt;
+            &lt;/cache&gt;
+            ...
+          &lt;/host&gt;
+
+        For the latter (MBM), the capability is shown like this:
+          &lt;host&gt;
+            ...
+            &lt;memory_bandwidth&gt;
+              &lt;node id='1' cpus='6-11'&gt;
+                &lt;control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/&gt;
+              &lt;/node&gt;
+              &lt;monitor maxMonitors='176'&gt;
+                &lt;feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/&gt;
+                &lt;feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/&gt;
+              &lt;/monitor&gt;
+            &lt;/memory_bandwidth&gt;
+            ...
+          &lt;/host&gt;

+        <description>
+          The domxml-to-native virsh command accepts either --xml or --domain
+          option followed by a file or domain name respectively, The --domain
+          option is documented as required, which means an argument with no
+          option is treated as --xml. Commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 broke this
+          by making --domain optional and thus an argument with no option was
+          treated as --domain.
