I have just tagged v12.7.0-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.

The 12.6.0 release of both libvirt and libvirt-python is tagged and
signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/https://download.libvirt.org/python/
Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* bhyve: implement ``virDomainRename()``
The bhyve driver now implements the ``virDomainRename()`` API
for renaming of a domain (``virsh domrename``).
* build: Add option to control building libvirtd
Meson option ``libvirtd`` has been added to control building the monolithic
libvirtd, independent from the stateful, daemon-based drivers.
* sanlock: Add option to check ownership of disk leases
The sanlock lock driver plugin now supports the ``check_disk_lease_owner``
setting in sanlock.conf. When enabled, the sanlock plugin will check that
leases are owned by the domain attempting to acquire them.
* Improvements
* qemu: Add ``preserve-running`` action for ``<on_crash>``
Allow qemu VMs to be kept running after they notify that they've crashed.
This is useful for guests that can take their own crash dump and reboot.
Enjoy.
Jirka
