I've CC'd all those who introduced the changes mentioned below,
both to give them a chance to point out any mistake I might have
made and to possibly annoy them into updating the release notes
themselves next time :)

Considering the fact that 4.5.0 is going to be released in just a few hours, I felt like bending the rules a bit was appropriate. If you want to make sure this never happens again to you, just update the release notes as you introduce changes to libvirt ;) -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

Err, typos aside: "An odd number of vCPUs greater than 1 was forbidden in the past, and current versions of ESXi support this configuration, so the restriction was lifted." -- Pino Toscano-- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
