Instead of storing release notes as XML and then converting them
to HTML and ASCII at build time using XSLT and a custom script,
we can use reStructuredText as both the source and ASCII
representation and generate HTML from it using the same tooling
we already use for the rest of the documentation.

+================
+libvirt releases
+================
+
+This is the list of official releases for libvirt, along with an overview of
+the changes introduced by each of them.
+
+For a more fine-grained view, use the `git log`_.
+
+
+v6.5.0 (unreleased)
+===================
+
+* **New features**
+
+* **Improvements**
+
+* **Bug fixes**
+
+
+v6.4.0 (2020-06-02)
+===================
+
+* **New features**
+
+ * qemu: Add support for pvscsi controllers
+
+ pvscsi is the VMware paravirtualized SCSI controller, which has been
+ supported in QEMU for a number of years.
+
+ * cpu: Report model information for ARM CPUs
+
+ ``virsh capabilities`` will now include information about the host CPU when
+ run on ARM machines.
+
+* **Improvements**
+
+ * qemu: stricter validation for disk type='lun'
+
+ The 'lun' type is meant for SCSI command passthrough, which can't be
+ achieved if qemu's block layer features are used. Disk type='lun' is now
+ allowed only when the format is 'raw' and no other block layer features are
+ requested.
+
+* **Bug fixes**
+
+ * qemu: fixed regression in network device hotplug with new qemu versions
+
+ Starting from QEMU-5.0 it's required to conform to strict schema when
+ hotplugging network devices. Libvirt didn't conform to the schema so in
+ versions prior to 6.4.0 network device hotplug fails in certain cases. This
+ version fixes it and adds stricter testing to prevent further issues.
+
+ * remote: Look up libxl driver correctly
+
+ This makes ``xen://`` connection URIs usable in split daemon mode.
+
+ * systemd: Start libvirtd after firewalld/iptables services
+
+ This solves an issue where iptables rules and chains created by libvirtd
+ would get removed by a service started after it.
+
+ * network: Re-create iptables chains on firewalld restart
+
+ firewalld resets all iptables rules and chains on restart, and this
+ includes deleting those created by libvirt.

- You can optionally add a description if you feel like the summary alone is
- not enough to document the change accurately. The description may contain
