After the release it's necessary to add a new <release> section for the
upcoming release. Add a template so that it does not have to be
compiled over and over again.
Commits 29f7b5ea6a and 5edf9aaf54 pushed them incorrectly at the end of
the file in the bug fixes section for libvirt 2.5.0.

When reading release notes, patch summary is not always the best
description of what users can expect in new version. I propose
changing it slightly so that it describes what exactly happens and
when.
However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news
file, that would be ridiculous and unreadable for users. If the patch
subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all. So that would be
the other way how to fix this.

The generated HTML will contain <ul></ul> otherwise, which
triggers an error during 'make check'.
The proper fix would be not to generate the problematic
HTML in the first place but, while I'm working on it, this
workaround will do.
Before 9c17d665fd (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to
have the following interface configuration:
<interface type='ethernet'/>
<script path=''/>
</interface>
This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped
us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script
path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd
who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special
case-ing empty script path.

Example:
<network>
...
<mtu size='9000'/>
...
If mtu is unset, it's assumed that we want the default for whatever is
the underlying transport (usually this is 1500).
This setting isn't yet wired in, so it will have no effect.
This partially resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1224348
So far we allow to set MTU for libvirt networks. However, not all
domain interfaces have to be plugged into a libvirt network and
even if they are, they might want to have a different MTU (e.g.
for testing purposes).

fabric_name is one of many fc_host attributes in Linux that is optional
and left to the low-level driver to decide if it is implemented.
The zfcp device driver does not provide a fabric name for an fcp host.
This patch removes the requirement for a fabric name by making it optional.

In the documentation we are mixing libvirt-guest and
libvirt_guest module name. The correct name is the latter.

For HVM domains, pae is only set in libxl_domain_build_info when
explicitly specified in the hypervisor <features> config. This is
fine for i686 machines, but is incorrect behavior for x86_64 machines
where pae must always be enabled. See the following discussion for
additional details

In f55afd8 I've made libvirt to construct hugepage path on
per-domain basis. However, this change was not reflected in
the NEWS file.

Add "Improvements" for commit id 'bb74a7ffe' and '78be2e8b7' which add
support for using the parent wwnn/wwpn or fabric_name rather than just
using the parent by scsi_hostX name.
By default, pool-info will convert sizes to human friendly units.
This patch will introduce option [--bytes].
If specified, the raw sizes will be in the output.

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.
