<summary>
Start linking against GLib and using its features
</summary>
<description>
Up until now, libvirt has been dealing with platform portability and
the lack of certain features in libc by using gnulib and implementing
its own functions and data structures respectively; going forward, it
will prefer the facilities offered by GLib instead.

Stop distributing generated documentation
</summary>
<description>
Most downstreams already patch the libvirt source to some extent, so
this change will probably not affect them.

logging: Drop support for including stack traces
</summary>
<description>

resulted in logs that were too verbose to be useful and also resulted
in a significant performance penalty.

qemu: Properly advertise bochs-display availability
</summary>

capabilities.

security: Don't remember labels for TPM devices
</summary>
<description>
Due to the way they're implemented in the kernel, trying to remember
labels for TPM devices makes it impossible to use them.

security: Properly rollback after failure in a stacked driver
</summary>
<description>
When multiple security drivers are involved, failure in one of them
would result in only the corresponding changes being rolled back,
leaving the ones performed by drivers that had been activated earlier
in place. All changes are rolled back now.
