+ <summary>
+ qemu: Implement ACPI support for aarch64 guests
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Up until this point, ACPI support was only advertised for x86_64
+ guests and disabling it for aarch64 guests was not possible at all.

+ qemu: Automatically choose the best USB controller for guests
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The recently introduced qemu-xhci USB controller is the best choice
+ for both ppc64 and aarch64 guests, so use it by default on those
+ architectures if available.

+ daemon: Increase default task limit for libvirtd
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The default number of tasks for the pids cgroup controller is 512,
+ which libvirtd can quickly bump into when starting lots of guests.
+ Raise the limit to a more reasonable 32768.

+ <summary>
+ nss: Don't require a network restart for libvirt_guest
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Previously, the libvirt_guest NSS module would only work properly
+ after the corresponding network had been restarted; now newly
+ started guests will be reported correctly right away.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ storage: Remove unavailable transient pools after restart
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Solve an issue where transient storage pools would be stuck in an
+ unmanageable state if the source disappeared and libvirtd was
+ subsequently restarted.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ storage: Fix capacity value for LUKS encrypted volumes
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ The 'capacity' value (e.g. guest logical size) for a LUKS volume is
+ smaller than the 'physical' value of the file in the file system, so
+ we need to account for that.
+ </description>
+ </change>
+ <change>
+ <summary>
+ qemu: Fix regression when hyperv/vendor_id feature is used
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Guests using the feature would not be started at all; it is now
+ possible to start them as expected.

+ virsh: Report initialization errors
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Sometimes virsh might be unable to start: when that happens, report
+ useful diagnostics instead of failing silently.
