* **Improvements**
+ * qemu: internal snapshot improvements
+
+ The qemu internal snapshot handling code was updated to use modern commands
+ which avoid the problems the old ones had, preventing use of internal
+ snapshots on VMs with UEFI NVRAM. Internal snapshots of VMs using UEFI are
+ now possible provided that the NVRAM is in ``qcow2`` format.
+
+ The new code also allows better control when deleting snapshots. To prevent
+ possible regressions no strict checking is done, but in case a inconsistent
+ state is encountered a log message is added::
+
+ warning : qemuSnapshotActiveInternalDeleteGetDevices:3841 : inconsistent internal
snapshot state (deletion): VM='snap' snapshot='1727959843'
missing='vda ' unexpected='' extra=''
+
+ Users are encouraged to report any occurence of the above message along
+ with steps they took to the upstream tracker.
