+ * conf: Properly handle slots for non-DIMM ``<memory>`` devices
+
+ Memory devices such as ``virtio-mem`` don't need a memory slot as they are
+ PCI devices. ``libvirt`` now properly accounts the memory slots for such
+ devices as well as specifying the ``slots`` attribute of the ``<maxMemory>``
+ element is no longer needed unless DIMM-like devices are to be used.
+
+ * ``passt`` log and port forwarding improvements
+
+ Libvirt now ensures that the ``passt`` helper process can access the
+ configured log file even when it's placed in a directory without permissions.
+
+ The ``<portForward>`` element of a passt-backed interface can now omit the
+ ``address`` attribute as it's enough to specify a ``dev``.
+
* **Bug fixes**
+ * lxc: Allow seeking in ``/proc/meminfo`` to resove failure with new ``procps`` package
+
+ New version of the ``free`` command from ``procps`` package seeks into the
+ ``/proc/meminfo`` file, which was not supported by the instance of the file
+ exposed via LXC causing a failure.
+
+ * qemu: Fix rare race-condition when detaching a device
+
+ The device removal handler callback function didn't re-check the state of
+ the unplug operation after a timeout, which could rarely cause that the
+ device was removed from the VM but not the definition.
+
+ * qemu: Fix NUMA memory allocation logic
+
+ qemu allocates memory via the emulator thread thus that has to be allowed
+ to access all configured NUMA nodes of the VM rather than just the one where
+ it's supposed to be pinned.
+
+
+ * qemu: Fix setup of ``hostdev`` backed ``<interface>``
+
+ The proper steps to initialize the host device were skipped for interfaces
+ due to a logic bug preventing start of VM which used them.
