Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* Introduce pipewire audio backend
The QEMU hypervisor driver now allows setting ``pipewire`` backend for
``<audio/>`` device.
* Improvements
* Adapt to qemu's use of protocol drivers in QCOW2 'backing file format' field
QEMU allows creating images where the 'backing file format' is actually a
protocol name such as 'file'/'host_device'/'nbd'/etc.. Adapt libvirt to
properly handle such images and don't assume automatic format probing is
necessary, which is in many cases forbidden due to security implications.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: Fix setup of images on hotplug of disk
Internal image metadata was not setup correctly which could cause some disk
hotplug configurations (namely those including backing images) to fail.
* qemu: Fix qemu crash when reverting an internal snapshot
Libvirt attempted to start qemu with wrong arguments when attempting to
revert to an internal snapshot causing qemu to crash.
* qemu: Fix hotplug of empty cdrom
Empty cdrom drive couldn't be hotplugged as libvirt wanted to setup the
storage backing it unconditionally.
Enjoy.
