---
I went through the commits since last release and added a few notes
which seem to be relevant for the news.
In case you notice there's something missing, please, either send me the
text to add it (and I'll re-sping this patch) and add the text before
merging this one.
Changes since v1:
- Actually run make-check in order to be sure the changes are fine.
Changes since v2:
- Fixed and reworded some parts according to John's and Erik's
suggestions.
- Added, according to Erik's suggestion:
- util: Introduce VIR_AUTOCLOSE macro to automatically close files' fds
- virsh: Implement vsh-table in virsh and virsh-admin
