+ Allow opening secondary drivers
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Up until now it was possible to connect to only hypervisor drivers
+ (e.g. qemu:///system, lxc:///, vbox:///system, and so on). The
+ internal drivers (like network driver, node device driver, etc.) were
+ hidden from users and users could use them only indirectly. Starting
+ with this release new connection URIs are accepted. For instance
+ network:///system, storage:///system and so on.

+ Make port allocator global
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Up until now each driver had their own port allocator module. This
+ meant that info on port usage was not shared. Starting with this
+ release, the port allocator module is made global and therefore
+ drivers allocate ports from global pool.

+ qemu: Check for unsafe migration more thoroughly
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ If a domain disk is stored on local filesystem (e.g. ext4) but is
+ not being migrated it is very likely that domain is not able to
+ run on destination. Regardless of share/cache mode.

+ <description>
+ Starting with 3.7.0 release updating any device with boot order would

+ <description>
+ At later point it might not be possible or even safe to use

+ qemu: Rework vCPU statistics fetching
+ </summary>
+ <description>
+ Fetching vCPU statistics was very expensive because it lead to waking
+ up vCPU threads in QEMU and thus it degraded performance. The code
+ was reworked so that fetching statistics does not wake up halted
+ vCPUs.

+ <description>
+ Depending on the filesystem where domain memory is stored, some files
+ might have been left behind. This is not a problem on hugetlbfs, but
+ it is a problem on regular filesystems like ext4.
