+          When using thin provisioning, management tools need to resize the

+          this version introduces an event which will be fired when a given

+          volumes and this event will then notify management if the threshold
+          is exceeded. Currently only the qemu driver supports this.

Maybe "Starting with this version, libvirt logs the information..."

ACK.
