 * **New features**

+  * qemu: zero block detection for non-shared-storage migration
+
+    Users can now request that all-zero blocks are not transferred when migrating
+    non-shared disk data without actually enabling zero detection on the disk
+    itself. This allows sparsifying images during migration where the source
+    has no access to the allocation state of blocks at the cost of CPU overhead.
+
+    This feature is avaliable via the ``--migrate-disks-detect-zeroes`` option
+    for ``virsh migrate`` or ``VIR_MIGRATE_PARAM_MIGRATE_DISKS_DETECT_ZEROES_ZEROES``
+    migration parameter. See the documentation for caveats.
+
 * **Improvements**

   * qemu: internal snapshot improvements
