+ lib: Add virDomainGetGuestInfo()
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ This API is intended to aggregate several guest agent information
+ queries and is inspired by stats API
+ <code>virDomainListGetStats()</code>. It is anticipated that this
+ information will be provided by a guest agent
+ running within the domain. It's exposed as <code>virsh
+ guestinfo</code>.

+ Split libvirtd into separate daemons

+ The big monolithic libvirtd daemon can now be replaced by smaller
+ per-driver daemons. Distributions can chose if they want the former
+ or the latter. The libvirtd is still kept around for backwards
+ compatibility.

+ <description>
+ In order to allow libvirt abort on out of memory, we need to stop
+ link libvirt.so to virt-login-shell or the NSS plugins where we don't

+ Various security label remembering fixes

+ <description>
+ In the previous release libvirt introduced remembering of original

+ properly with snapshots, on migrations or on network filesystems.
+ This is now fixed.

+ Prefer read only opening of PCI config files
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ When enumerating PCI bus, Libvirt opens config files under
+ <code>sysfs</code> mount and parses them to learn various aspects of
+ the device (e.g. its capabilities). Only in a very limited number of
+ cases it is actually writing into the file. However, it used to open
+ the file also for writing even if it was only reading from it.

+ Fix AppArmor profile
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Since the <code>5.6.0</code> release, Libvirt uses
+ <code>procfs</code> to learn the list of opened file descriptors when
+ spawning a command. However, our AppArmor profile was not allowing
+ such access.

+ Don't block storage driver when starting or building a pool

+ <description>
+ Starting or building a storage pool can take a long time to finish.
+ During this time the storage driver was blocked and thus no other API
+ involving the storage driver could run. This is now fixed.
