[libvirt] [PATCH] news: Update for 4.0.0

Wed Jan 17 16:01:44 UTC 2018


As usual, a bunch of changes slipped through the cracks during the
development cycle. Update the release notes to include at least the
most notable.

I'll push this tomorrow morning under the "can't possibly be worse
than leaving it alone" rule, so that it makes it into the release,
unless I get feedback earlier.

+          A microcode update can cause the CPUID bits to change; therefore,
