* **New features**
+ * nwfilter: Support for user-defined metadata
+
+ The network filter object adds three user-defined metadata fields:
+ 1) ``<title>``: Stores a short description (title) and can't contain
newlines.
+ 2) ``<description>``: Can store any documentation the user wants.
+ 3) ``<metadata>``: Can store custom metadata in form of XML nodes.
+
+ Two new APIs have been added to manage the above fields:
+ 1) ``virNWFilterGetMetadata()``
+ 2) ``virNWFilterSetMetadata()``
+
+ virsh adds two new commands:
+ 1) ``nwfilter-desc``: To view or modify the title or description.
+ 2) ``nwfilter-metadata``: To view or modify ``<metadata>``.
+
+ ``nwfilter-list`` adds a new option ``--title`` that prints the content of
``<title>``
+ in an extra column within the default ``--table`` output.
+
* **Improvements**
* **Bug fixes**
