+  * qemu: Introduce dynamicMemslots attribute for virtio-mem
+
+    QEMU now allows setting ``.dynamic-memslots`` attribute for virtio-mem-pci
+    devices. When turned on, it allows memory exposed to guest to be split into
+    multiple memory slots and thus smaller memory footprint (see the original
+    commit for detailed explanation).

+  * domain: Fix check for overlapping ``<memory/>`` devices
+
+    A bug was identified which caused libvirt to report two NVDIMMs as
+    overlapping even though they weren't. This now fixed.
+
+  * vmx: Accept empty fileName for cdrom-image
+
+    Turns out, ``fileName`` attribute (which contains path to CDROM image) can
+    be set to an empty string (``""``) to denote a state in which the CDROM has
+    no medium in it. Libvirt used to reject such configuration file, but not
+    anymore.
+
+  * qemu_hotplug: Don't lose 'created' flag in qemuDomainChangeNet()
+
+    When starting a domain, libvirt tracks what resources it created for it and
+    which were pre-existing and uses this information to preserve pre-existing
+    resources when cleaning up after said domain is shut off. But for macvtaps
+    this information was lost after the macvtap device was changed (e.g. via
+    ``virsh update-device``).
+
+  * Fix virStream hole handling
+
+    When a client sent multiple holes into a virStream it may have caused
+    daemon hangup as the daemon stopped processing RPC from the client
+    temporarily. This is now fixed.
