 * **New features**
 
+  * nwfilter: Support for user-defined metadata
+
+    The network filter object adds three user-defined metadata fields:
+      1) ``<title>``: Stores a short description (title) and can't contain newlines.
+      2) ``<description>``: Can store any documentation the user wants.
+      3) ``<metadata>``: Can store custom metadata in form of XML nodes.
+
+    Two new APIs have been added to manage the above fields:
+      1) ``virNWFilterGetMetadata()``
+      2) ``virNWFilterSetMetadata()``
+
+    virsh adds two new commands:
+      1) ``nwfilter-desc``: To view or modify the title or description.
+      2) ``nwfilter-metadata``: To view or modify ``<metadata>``.
+
+    ``nwfilter-list`` adds a new option ``--title`` that prints the content of ``<title>``
+    in an extra column within the default ``--table`` output.
+
 * **Improvements**
 
 * **Bug fixes**
