7c24ee622c NEWS: Fix vertical spacing between sections
Looking at the entire repository reveals we're not too consistent
about this, but at least in this specific document we mostly have
two blank lines between sections, so let's stick with that.

81a9194cbf bhyve: add VNC password support
Support setting a password for the VNC framebuffer using the passwd
attribute on the <graphics/> element, if the driver has the
BHYVE_CAP_VNC_PASSWORD capability.

Note that virsh domxml-from-native does not output the password in the
generated XML, as VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_FORMAT_SECURE is not set when
formatting the domain definition.

f45735786a news: Add information about old releases
Until libvirt 2.5.0 we didn't have a real process for release
notes in place, and we just published the list of commits that
had made it into each release, dividing them into categories that
mostly matched the sections we use today. Those documents haven't
been relevant for years, but they're still in the git repository
and collectively take up almost 2 MiB of disk space.

Let's import the only valuable piece of information they contain,
the release date for each libvirt versions, into the current
document and then drop them for good.
