* **Improvements**
+ * network: make networks with <forward mode='open'/> more useful
Please put the XML element in double-backticks ``<asdf>`` to make them
monospace/code in the output in the few instances below.
+
+ It is now permissable to have a <forward mode='open'> network that
+ has no IP address assigned to the host's port of the bridge. This
+ is the only way to create a libvirt network where guests are
+ unreachable from the host (and vice versa) and also 0 firewall
+ rules are added on the host.
+
+ It is now also possible for a <forward mode='open'/> network to
+ use the "zone" attribute of <bridge> to set the firewalld zone of
+ the bridge interface (normally it would not be set, as is done
+ with other forward modes).
