NEWS: Include description for release 0.7.3
The description for this release, unlike all other descriptions, was inside a <p> element; however, the XSLT stylesheet contains a template that drops all <p> elements from the output file, so it never made it to the generated NEWS file. Use a <li> element, same as all other releases, instead.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
