I have just tagged v7.6.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed
tarballs and source RPMs to https://libvirt.org/sources/
Please give the release candidate some testing and in case you find a
serious issue which should have a fix in the upcoming release, feel
free to reply to this thread to make sure the issue is more visible.
If you have not done so yet, please update NEWS.rst to document any
significant change you made since the last release.
Thanks,
Pavel

Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing any other feedback. Your work is
greatly appreciated.
* Security
* svirt: fix MCS label generation (CVE-2021-3631)
A flaw in the way MCS labels were generated could result in a VM's
resource not being fully protected from access by another VM were
it to be compromised. https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/153
* Removed features
* xen: Remove support for Xen < 4.9
In accordance with our platform support policy, the oldest supported Xen
version is now bumped from 4.6 to 4.9.
* Improvements
* docs: Document disk serial truncation status quo
Disk ``<serial>`` is being truncated by QEMU before passed to the guest.
Since it's impossible to fix it without running into further regressions
the documentation was improved to document the intricacies.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: Fixed validation of disk ``iothread`` configuration
The validation of ``iothread`` config was previously moved to a place where
it caused bogus errors when address wasn't allocated when hotplugging a
disk. The check is now removed as it wasn't actually necessary at all.
Enjoy.
