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.

[PATCH v1 15/25] Deprecate 32 bit big-endian MIPS
by Alex Bennée
It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host
architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS
which supports fewer architectures. For now:
- mark it's deprecation in the docs
- downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only
- drop the cross builds from our CI
Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take
their chances building it.
