+  * virnetdevopenvswitch: Various improvements
+
+    The code that handles ``<interface type='vhostuser'/>`` was given various
+    improvements. So far, libvirt assumed vhostuser interfaces are handled
+    exclusively by OpenVSwitch and refused to start a guest if it was not so.
+    Now a guest can be started successfully even if the interface is created by
+    some other tool (e.g. ``dpdk-testpmd``). Also, the code that detects the
+    interface name was adopted to new versions of OpenVSwitch and thus can
+    detect name more reliably.
+
+  * qemu: Report guest disks informations in ``virDomainGetGuestInfo``
+
+    Libvirt is now able to report disks and filesystems from the guest's
+    perspective (using guest agent). And with sufficiently new guest agent
+    (5.3.0 or newer) the API also handles disks on CCW bus.
+
+  * conf: Add support for keeping TPM emulator state
+
+    Currently, swtpm TPM state file is removed when a transient domain is
+    powered off or undefined. Add per-TPM emulator option ``persistent_sate``
+    for keeping TPM state.

+  * qemu: Don't cache NUMA caps
+

+    topology among with amount of free hugepages per each NUMA node. However,
+    these amounts were not updated between calls.
+
+  * networkGetDHCPLeases: Handle leases with infinite expiry time
+
+    Since libvirt-6.3.0 it is possible to configure expiry time for DHCP
+    leases. If the expiry time was infinite then ``virsh net-dhcp-leases``
+    and NSS plugins refused to work.
+
+  * qemu: Don't prealloc mem for real NVDIMMs
+
+    If a real life NVDIMM is assigned to a guest via ``<memory model='nvdimm'/>``
+    then QEMU is no longer instructed to preallocate memory
+    for it. This prevents unnecessary wear off of the NVDIMM.
+
+  * network: Introduce mutex for bridge name generation
+
+    When new libvirt network is defined or created and the input XML does not
+    contain any bridge name, libvirt generates one. However, it might have
+    happened that the same name would be generated for different networks if
+    two or more networks were defined/created at once.
