Entering freeze for libvirt-8.8.0
by Jiri Denemark
I have just tagged v8.8.0-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,

Release of libvirt-8.7.0
by Jiri Denemark
The 8.7.0 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 feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* Removed features
* qemu: Remove support for QEMU < 4.2
In accordance with our platform support policy, the oldest supported QEMU
version is now bumped from 3.1 to 4.2.
* New features
* qemu: Add support for specifying vCPU physical address size in bits
Users can now specify the number of vCPU physical address bits with
the `<maxphysaddr>` subelement of the `<cpu>` element.
* Improvements
* esx: Domain XMLs can now be dumped for VMs with two new interface types
One is when the interface is not connected anywhere `type='null'` and one
when it is connected to VMWare Distributed Switch `type='vds'`.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: increase memlock limit for a domain with multiple vfio/vdpa devices
When multiple vfio or vdpa devices are assigned to a domain, the locked
memory limit could be too low to map memory for all devices. The memlock
limit has been increased to be proportional to the number of vdpa/vfio
devices.
Enjoy.
