+  * qemu: Allow control of ``qcow2`` metadata cache
+
+    In specific usecases such as when massive storage images are used it's
+    possible to achieve better performance with increasing the metadata cache

+  * secret: Relax XML schema for the ``usage`` name of a ``secret``

+    Various bits of documentation of how to use libvirt with RBD volumes used
+    an usage name which would not pass the XML validation. Relax the requirement
+    to make such XMLs valid.

 * **Bug fixes**

+  * qemu: Fix logic bug in inactive snapshot deletion
+
+    This release fixes a bug introduced in ``libvirt-6.9`` where libvirt's
+    snapshot metadata would not be deleted on successful snapshot deletion.

+  * qemu: Fix VM's with ``<iotune>`` on an empty cdrom
+
