 * **New features**
 
+  * bhyve: support session mode
+
+    The bhyve driver now supports the session mode: ``bhyve:///session``.
+    It requires bhyve monitor mode support, so at the time of writing it
+    is available to -CURRENT users only.
+
+  * bhyve: support boot order configuration for disks
+
+    The bhyve driver now supports boot order configuration for the
+    SATA and VirtIO disks with ``<boot order='..'/>``. Now it also
+    uses the QEMU-compatible ``fwcfg`` interface.
+
+  * bhyve: TPM support
+
+    The bhyve driver now supports TPM with an external emulator.
+
+  * bhyve: implement ``virDomainReset()``
+
+    The bhyve driver now implements the ``virDomainReset()`` API
+    (accessible via ``virsh reset``).
+
+  * FreeBSD: support isolated bridge ports
+
+    libvirt on FreeBSD now supports isolated bridge ports such as::
+
+      <interface type='bridge'>
