v7.0.0 (unreleased)
===================
+* **Project governance**
+
+ * Formal handover of release tarball signing
+
+ Starting from libvirt-6.6 the release tarballs are signed by Jiří Denemark.
+ Releases starting with 7.0 contain a note from the previous maintainer
+ Daniel Veillard officaly handing over the signing of packages so that the
+ transition can be verified.

* **New features**
* nodedev: Add node device driver support for AP devices

queues and AP matrix devices (which are capable of MDEV) of a KVM host
system in libvirt node device driver with correct object relationships.
+ * qemu: Allow control of ``qcow2`` metadata cache
+
+ In specific usecases such as when massive storage images are used it's
+ possible to achieve better performance with increasing the metadata cache
+ size. The new knob allows advanced users setting the size according to
+ qemu's documentation to suit their image.
+
* **Improvements**
+ * qemu: Discourage users from polling ``virDomainGetBlockJobInfo`` for block
+ job completion
+
+ Document that waiting for events is a more robust solution.
+
+ * secret: Relax XML schema for the ``usage`` name of a ``secret``
+
+ Various bits of documentation of how to use libvirt with RBD volumes used
+ an usage name which would not pass the XML validation. Relax the requirement
+ to make such XMLs valid.
+
* **Bug fixes**
+ * qemu: Fix logic bug in inactive snapshot deletion
+
+ This release fixes a bug introduced in ``libvirt-6.9`` where libvirt's
+ snapshot metadata would not be deleted on successful snapshot deletion.
+
+ * qemu: Fix VM's with ``<iotune>`` on an empty cdrom
+
+ Specifying ``<iotune>`` for an empty cdrom would prevent the VM from
+ starting as qemu doesn't accept the tuning for an empty drive. We now
+ postpone the setting of the parameters until a new media is inserted.
