=head2 virt-dib was removed
virt-dib, a tool that built disk images using diskimage-builder
descriptions has been removed. It only supported an older version of
the diskimage-builder metadata. See also:
L<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1910039>
=head2 virt-builder
L<virt-builder(1)> now prints better error messages when a specific
URL cannot be downloaded.
=head2 virt-builder-repository
Fix GPG repository signing (thanks Allard Berends).
=head2 virt-customize
New L<virt-customize(1)> I<--chown> and I<--tar-in> options. (Also
available in virt-builder and virt-sysprep.)
=head2 virt-diff
L<virt-diff(1)> no longer considers C<st_dev> and C<st_ino> fields,
which means that guests where a file has moved across a mountpoint but
is otherwise identical (size, path, etc) will not show up as a
difference.
=head2 virt-drivers
L<virt-drivers(1)> a tool which looks at the device drivers needed by
a guest, can now look up vendor and device names using the PCI and USB
IDs databases.
=head2 Common changes
The common I<--key> option now recognizes LVM names like
F</dev/mapper/rhel_bootp--73--75--123-root> (Laszlo Ersek).
The I<--key> option also supports a new S<I<--key all:...>> selector
to try the same key on all devices.
=head2 Build changes
Support for OCaml 5, and OCaml E<ge> 4.07 is now the minimum (thanks
Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, Jerry James, Josh Berdine, Jürgen Hötzel,
Vincent Laviron).
Fix compatibility issues with libxml2 2.12.
=head2 Internals
Fix an off-by-one error which caused very rare crashes in some of the
virt tools.
