NEWS: Improve building pipeline

Browse Source 
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.

The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.

Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.

To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.

<h3>v3.0.0 (<i>unreleased</i>)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>New features</strong>
<ul>
<li>New localPtr attribute for "ip" element in network XML
</li>
<li>qemu: Support QEMU group I/O throttling<br/>
Add the capability to allow group I/O throttling via a new
domain &lt;disk&gt; &lt;iotune&gt; subelement "group_name"
to allow sharing I/O throttling quota between multiple drives
</li>
<li>nss: Introduce <code>libvirt-guest</code><br/>
New <code>libvirt-guest</code> nss module that translates libvirt
guest names into IP addresses
</li>
<li>daemon: Add support for runtime logging settings adjustment<br/>
Logging-related settings like log outputs and filters can now be
adjusted during runtime using the admin interface without the
necessity of the daemon's restart
</li>
<li>storage: Add virStorageVolInfoFlags API<br/>
Add the API to support using the VIR_STORAGE_VOL_GET_PHYSICAL
flag in order to return the host physical size in bytes
of the image container in the allocation field of the
_virStorageVolInfo structure. The --physical flag has been
added to the virsh vol-info command to access the data
</li>
<li>libxl: Implement virDomainGetMaxVcpus API
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Improvements</strong>
<ul>
<li>perf: Add more perf statistics<br/>
Add support to get the count of branch instructions
executed, branch misses, bus cycles, stalled frontend
cpu cycles, stalled backend cpu cycles, ref cpu
cycles and cache l1d by applications running on
the platform
</li>
<li>conf: Display &lt;physical&gt; for volume xml<br/>
Add a display of the &lt;physical&gt; size of a disk
volume in the output of the volume XML
</li>
<li>qemu: Use virtio-pci by default for aarch64 mach-virt guests<br/>
virtio-pci provides several advantages over virtio-mmio, such
as the ability to hotplug devices and improved performance.
While opting in to virtio-pci has been possible for a while,
newly-defined guests will now use it automatically
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Bug fixes</strong>
<ul>
<li>qemu: Correct GetBlockInfo values<br/>
For an active domain, correct the physical value provided for
a raw sparse file backed storage and the allocation value provided
for a qcow2 file backed storage that hasn't yet been opened on
the domain
</li>
<li>qemu: Make virtio console usable on ppc64 guests<br/>
The chardev detection code has been improved and can now handle this
configuration properly
</li>
<li>qemu: Enable mount namespace<br/>
To avoid funny races with udev relabelling devices under our hands and
to enhance security, libvirt now spawns each qemu process with its own
<code>/dev</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>v2.5.0 (2016-12-04)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>New features</strong>
<ul>
<li>shmem: Add support for additional models<br/>
The shmem device can now utilize QEMU's ivshmem-plain and
ivshmem-doorbell, more modern versions of ivshmem
</li>
<li>vbox: Add VirtualBox 5.1 support
</li>
<li>libssh: New transport<br/>
The new libssh transport allows one to connect to a running
libvirtd via SSH, using the libssh library; for example:
<tt>qemu+libssh://<i>server</i>/system</tt>
</li>
<li>vhost-scsi: Add support scsi_host hostdev passthrough<br/>
Add the capability to pass through a scsi_host HBA and the
associated LUNs to the guest
</li>
<li>qemu: Users can now enable debug logging for native gluster
volumes in qemu using the "gluster_debug_level" option in qemu.conf
</li>
<li>memory hotplug: Slot numbers for memory devices are now
automatically allocated and thus persistent. In addition slot numbers
can be specified without providing a base address, which simplifies
user configuration
</li>
<li>qemu: Express devices will be placed on PCIe bus by default<br/>
For machine types that use a PCI Express root bus
(e.g. x86_64/Q35 and aarch64/virt), any unaddressed PCI
device that is an Express device (all virtio-1.0 devices,
e1000e, nec-xhci, vfio assigned devices) will be placed on
an Express controller (i.e. a pcie-root-port) instead of a
legacy PCI controller (i.e. pci-bridge) with the root ports
added as needed
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Improvements</strong>
<ul>
<li>docs: Better documentation for migration APIs and flags
</li>
<li>vbox: Address thread safety issues
</li>
<li>virsh: Add support for passing an alternative persistent XML
to migrate command
</li>
<li>vhostuser: Allow hotplug of multiqueue devices
</li>
<li>NEWS: Switch to an improved format<br/>
List user-visible changes instead of single commits for a better
high-level overview of differences between libvirt releases
</li>
<li>website: Modernize layout and branding<br/>
The libvirt website looked very cluttered and outdated; it has now
been completely overhauled, resulting in a design that's better
organized and more pleasant to look at
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Bug fixes</strong>
<ul>
<li>vz: Fix migration in P2P mode
</li>
<li>Forbid newline character in names of some libvirt objects
</li>
<li>Fix compilation on macOS
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Releases earlier than v2.5.0 detailed their changes using a different
format and as such are excluded from the list above.
You can read about those older release, starting from those made in
<a href="news-2016.html">2016</a>.
