[PATCH] news: Document removal of support for .ini style of comments
Posted by Michal Privoznik 4 years, 1 month ago
In previous patches virKeyFile was replaced with its GLib
counterpart which created an incompatible change: comments can
now begin only with a number sign (#). While this won't probably
affect anyone, mention it in the release notes.

since only that one config file uses this format
