+          Libvirt now accepts <code><backingStore type='volume'></code>
+          and allows to specify the offset and size of the image format
+          container inside of the storage source via the <code><slices></code>
+          subelement.

+        <description>
+          To resolve regressions when users didn't specify the backing image
+          format in the overlay libvirt now probes the format in certain
+          secure scenarios which fixes few common existing cases. Additionally
+          the knowledge base was extended to provide more information how
+          to rectify the problem.
