signed tarballs are available at
https://download.libvirt.org/

Thanks everybody who helped with this release by sending patches,
reviewing, testing, or providing feedback. Your work is greatly
appreciated.
* New features
* ch: Disk hotplug Support
Users can now attach and detach disks of Cloud Hypervisor domains at
runtime.
* qemu: Add support for NUMA affinity of PCI devices
To support NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) configurations, libvirt now
handles QEMU's acpi-generic-initiator device internally. MIG enables
partitioning a physical GPU into multiple isolated instances, each
associated with one or more virtual NUMA nodes.
On the XML side, the existing ``<acpi>`` element has been extended with a
``nodeset`` attribute to specify the NUMA node affinity of a PCI device.
* Improvements
* ch: Events emitting
The CH driver not only emits more domain lifecycle events but also
implements ``virConnectDomainEventRegister()`` and
``virConnectDomainEventDeregister()`` APIs for management applications to
listen on those events.
* Bug fixes
* qemu: Fix selection of stateless/combined firmware
A stateless firmware will now be correctly chosen when appropriate,
e.g. for domains configured to use SEV-SNP.
* ch: Make sure the cloud-hypervisor process is killed in
``virCHProcessStop()``
Due to wrong assumptions in the CH driver, calling ``virDomainDestroy()``
did not kill the corresponding cloud-hypervisor process. Domains can be now
destroyed reliably.
Enjoy.
