* **Improvements**
+ * Libvirt switch to Meson build system

+ Libvirt abandoned autotools and switched to Meson build system.

either don't have device mapper enabled or where the dm-mod module is not
loaded yet. This is now fixed.
+ * resctrl: Use exclusive lock for /sys/fs/resctrl
+
+ When two or more domains were attempted to start at once, due to a bug in
+ implementation, resctrl was not locked properly and thus threads did not
+ mutually exclude with each other resulting in not setting requested
+ limitations as requested.
+
+ * mdev: Fix daemon crash when reattaching mdevs on assignment conflict
+
+ If there's a list of mdevs to be assigned to a domain, but one of them (NOT
+ the first) is already assigned to a different domain then libvirtd would
+ crash. This is now fixed.
+
+ * Fix logic in setting COW flag on btrfs
+
+ When COW is not explicitly requested to be disabled or enabled, then
+ libvirt should do nothing on non-BTRFS file systems.
+
+ * Avoid crash due to race in glib event loop code
+
+ Libvirt switched to glib event loop in 6.1.0 but it was also tickling a bug
+ in glib code leading to the daemon crash. Libvirt way of calling glib was
+ changed so the daemon crashes no more.
+
+ * virdevmapper: Handle kernel without device-mapper support
+
+ In the previous release, Libvirt dropped libdevmapper in favor of its own
+ implementation. But the implementation did not handle kernels without
+ device-mapper support. This is now fixed.
