+ * virnetdevopenvswitch: Various improvements
+
+ The code that handles ``<interface type='vhostuser'/>`` was given
various
+ improvements. So far, libvirt assumed vhostuser interfaces are handled
+ exclusively by OpenVSwitch and refused to start a guest if it was not so.
+ Now a guest can be started successfully even if the interface is created by
+ some other tool (e.g. ``dpdk-testpmd``). Also, the code that detects the
+ interface name was adopted to new versions of OpenVSwitch and thus can
+ detect name more reliably.
+
+ * qemu: Report guest disks informations in ``virDomainGetGuestInfo``
+
+ Libvirt is now able to report disks and filesystems from the guest's
+ perspective (using guest agent). And with sufficiently new guest agent
+ (5.3.0 or newer) the API also handles disks on CCW bus.
+
+ * conf: Add support for keeping TPM emulator state
+
+ Currently, swtpm TPM state file is removed when a transient domain is
+ powered off or undefined. Add per-TPM emulator option ``persistent_sate``
+ for keeping TPM state.

+ * networkGetDHCPLeases: Handle leases with infinite expiry time
+
+ Since libvirt-6.3.0 it is possible to configure expiry time for DHCP
+ leases. If the expiry time was infinite then ``virsh net-dhcp-leases``

+
+ * qemu: Don't prealloc mem for real NVDIMMs
+
+ If a real life NVDIMM is assigned to a guest via ``<memory
model='nvdimm'/>``
+ then QEMU is no longer instructed to preallocate memory
+ for it. This prevents unnecessary wear off of the NVDIMM.
+
+ * network: Introduce mutex for bridge name generation
+
+ When new libvirt network is defined or created and the input XML does not
+ contain any bridge name, libvirt generates one. However, it might have
+ happened that the same name would be generated for different networks if
+ two or more networks were defined/created at once.
