* **Improvements**
+ * Allow sparse streams for block devices
+
+ Sparse streams (e.g. ``virsh vol-download --sparse`` or ``virsh vol-upload
+ --sparse``) now handle if one of the stream ends is a block device. A zero
+ block detection is performed so that zero block are not transferred and
+ thus bandwidth is saved.

* **Bug fixes**
* virdevmapper: Deal with kernels without DM support
