+ <summary>
+ Devices CGroup v2 support
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Libvirt supported all controllers of CGroup v2 but the devices
+ controller which is implemented in this release.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Cold plug of sound device
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The QEMU driver now can handle cold plug of
+ <code><sound/></code> devices.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ More GLib integration
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ More patches were merged that replace our internal functions with
+ GLib ones. Also some effort was invested in replacing gnulib modules
+ with GLib functions.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Rewrite of Perl scripts into Python
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Libvirt used Perl scripts to check for coding style, generate some
+ code and things like that. To bring the number of languages used
+ down, these scripts were rewritten into Python.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Probe for default CPU types
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ With QEMU 4.2.0 we can probe for the default CPU model used by QEMU
+ for a particular machine type and store it in the domain XML. This
+ way the chosen CPU model is more visible to users and libvirt will
+ make sure the guest will see the exact same CPU after migration.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Adaptation to qemu's blockdev
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ QEMU introduced a new way of specifying disks on the command line
+ which enables fine-grained control over the block stack. Libvirt has
+ adapted to this.
+ </description>
+ </change>

<section title="Bug fixes">
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Warn verbosely if using old loader:nvram pairs
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Some distributions still use <code>--with-loader-nvram</code> or
+ <code>nvram</code> variable in qemu.conf. This is now discouraged in
+ favour of FW descriptors. However, instead of silently ignoring user's
+ config, libvirt warns if outdated config is detected.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Drop pconfig from Icelake-Server CPU model
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The pconfig feature was enabled in QEMU by accident in 3.1.0. All
+ other newer versions do not support it and it was removed from the
+ Icelake-Server CPU model in QEMU.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Wait longer for device removal confirmation on PPC64
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ After sending device hot unplug request to QEMU, libvirt waits up to
+ 5 seconds for qemu to confirm the device removal. On some
+ architectures (like PPC64) this can take longer time and libvirt now
+ reflects that.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Forcibly create nodes in domain's namespace
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The QEMU driver starts a domain in a namepsace with private
+ <code>/dev</code> and creates only those nodes there which the domain
+ is configured to have. However, it may have happened that if a node
+ changed its minor number this change wasn't propagated to the
+ namespace.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Various AppArmor bugfixes
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The AppArmor driver now knows how to handle
+ <code><shmem/></code> devices and also snapshotting more disks
+ at once.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ Improved video model autoselection
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ If a graphics device was added to XML that had no video device,
+ libvirt automatically added a video device which was always of type
+ 'cirrus' on x86_64, even if the underlying qemu didn't support
+ cirrus. Libvirt now bases the decision on qemu's capabilities.
