* **Improvements**
+ * qemu: Set 'passt' net backend if 'default' is unsupported
+
+ If QEMU is compiled without SLIRP support, and if domain XML allows it,
+ starting from this release libvirt will use passt as the default backend
+ instead. Also, supported backends are now reported in the domain
+ capabilities XML.
+
+ * qemu: Require QEMU-5.2.0 or newer
+
+ The minimal required version of QEMU was bumped to 5.2.0.
+
+ * qemu: add a monitor to /proc/$pid when killing times out
+
+ In cases when a QEMU process takes longer to be killed, libvirt might have
+ skipped cleaning up after it. But now a /proc/$pid watch is installed so
+ this does not happen ever again.
...ever ever?... :D
Thanks.

* **Bug fixes**
+ * virt-aa-helper: Allow RO access to /usr/share/edk2-ovmf
+
+ When binary version of edk2 is distributed, the files reside under
+ /usr/share/edk2-ovmf. Allow virt-aa-helper to generate paths under that
+ directory.
+
+ * virt-host-validate: Allow longer list of CPU flags
+
+ During its run, virt-host-validate parses /proc/cpuinfo to learn about CPU
+ flags. But due to a bug it parsed only the first 1024 bytes worth of CPU
+ flags leading to unexpected results. The file is now parsed properly.
+
+ * capabilities: Be more forgiving when decoding OEM strings
+
+ On some systems, OEM strings are scattered in multiple sections. This
+ confused libvirt when generating capabilities XML. Not anymore.
