* **Bug fixes**
Thanks for fixing my bug! Below are some word-smithing suggestions you're free
to ignore :-).
+ * qemu: Fix failure when reverting to internal snapshots
+
+ Due to a regression in how libvirt starts qemu when reverting to a snapshot
+ it became impossible to revert to internal snapshots in ``libvirt-11.2`` and
+ ``libvirt-11.3`` releases. Attempts to revert would produce the following
+ error::
A regression in libvirt-11.2 and libvirt-11.3 prevents reverting to an internal
snapshot. Attempts to revert would produce the following error:
+
+ error: operation failed: load of internal snapshot 'foo1' job failed:
Device 'libvirt-1-format' is writable but does not support snapshots
+
+ There is no workaround for this except for avoiding the broken versions.
The only workaround is to avoid the broken versions.
Either way
