v7.0.0 (unreleased)
===================
* **Project governance**
* Formal handover of release tarball signing
Starting from libvirt-6.6 the release tarballs are signed by Jiří Denemark.
Releases starting with 7.0 contain a note from the previous maintainer
Daniel Veillard offically handing over the signing of packages so that the
transition can be verified.
* **New features**
* nodedev: Add node device driver support for AP devices
@ -19,10 +28,39 @@ v7.0.0 (unreleased)
queues and AP matrix devices (which are capable of MDEV) of a KVM host
system in libvirt node device driver with correct object relationships.
* qemu: Allow control of ``qcow2`` metadata cache
In specific usecases such as when massive storage images are used it's
possible to achieve better performance by increasing the metadata cache
size. The new knob allows advanced users setting the size according to
qemu's documentation to suit their image.
* **Improvements**
* qemu: Discourage users from polling ``virDomainGetBlockJobInfo`` for block
job completion
Document that waiting for events is a more robust solution.
* secret: Relax XML schema for the ``usage`` name of a ``secret``
Various bits of documentation of how to use libvirt with RBD volumes used
an usage name which would not pass the XML validation. Relax the requirement
to make such XMLs valid.
* **Bug fixes**
* qemu: Fix logic bug in inactive snapshot deletion
This release fixes a bug introduced in libvirt-6.9 where libvirt's
snapshot metadata would not be deleted on successful snapshot deletion.
* qemu: Fix VMs with ``<iotune>`` on an empty cdrom
Specifying ``<iotune>`` for an empty cdrom would prevent the VM from
starting as qemu doesn't accept the tuning for an empty drive. We now
postpone setting the parameters until a new media is inserted.
v6.10.0 (2020-12-01)
====================
