I have just tagged v10.8.0-rc1 in the repository and pushed signed
tarballs to https://download.libvirt.org/
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,

* Security
* CVE-2024-8235: Crash of ``virtinterfaced`` via ``virConnectListInterfaces()``
A refactor of the code fetching the list of interfaces for multiple APIs
introduced corner case on platforms where allocating 0 bytes of memory
results in a NULL pointer.
This corner case would lead to a NULL-pointer dereference and subsequent
crash of ``virtinterfaced`` if ``virConnectListInterfaces()`` is called
requesting 0 networks to be filled.
The bug was introduced in libvirt-10.4.0
* New features
* qemu: Introduce the ability to disable the built-in PS/2 controller
It is now possible to control the state of the ``ps2`` feature in the
domain XML for descendants of the generic PC machine type (``i440fx``,
``q35``, ``xenfv`` and ``isapc``).
* Improvements
* ch: support restore with network devices
Cloud-Hypervisor starting from V40.0 supports restoring file descriptor
backed network devices. So, create new net fds and pass them via
SCM_RIGHTS to CH during restore operation.
* ch: support basic networking modes
Cloud-Hypervisor driver now supports Ethernet, Network (NAT) and Bridge
networking modes.
Enjoy.
Jirka
