serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel

Release of libvirt-7.4.0
by Jiri Denemark
The 7.4.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs and source RPMs are available at
https://libvirt.org/sources/
https://libvirt.org/sources/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing any other feedback. Your work is
greatly appreciated.
* Removed features
* qemu: Remove support for QEMU < 2.11
In accordance with our platform support policy, the oldest supported QEMU
version is now bumped from 1.5 to 2.11.
* New features
* qemu: Add support for hotplugging ``<transient/>`` disks
The disk hotplug code in the qemu driver now can handle hotplug of disks
with automatically added overlay.
* qemu: Add support for sharing base image of ``<transient/>`` disks
Users can use ``<transient shareBacking='yes'/>`` to tell the qemu driver to
never open the base image in write mode thus multiple VMs can share the
same image. Note that the disk will be hotplugged during startup.
* Improvements
* Add win-dmp crashdump format
New ``win-dmp`` format for ``virDomainCoreDumpWithFormat`` API and/or virsh
``dump --format`` was introduced.
* Bug fixes
* Allow 0 offset in XML schema for ``<slice type='storage' offset='0' size='321'/>``
Having a 0 offset so that the size of the image can be limited is a
valid configuration so it was allowed in the XML schema.
Enjoy.
