+- Update to version 1.26.8
+  * mllib: Export output_spaces function.
+  * daemon: Fix echo-daemon so it doesn't fail on empty array input.
+  * drives: fix deletion of servers on error
+  * daemon: zfile: call pclose instead of fclose
+  * utils: Add new CLEANUP_PCLOSE cleanup.  It calls pclose(3).
+  * launch: direct: Only issue Debian /dev/kvm group warning if /dev/kvm wasn't openable (RHBZ#1130189).
+  * lib: Missing include of <locale.h>.
+  * python: fix possible free on uninit memory with OStringList optargs
+  * df: unlock retire_mutex on early exit
+  * daemon: use CLEANUP_CLOSE
+  * daemon: blkid: fix memory issues in "no -p/-i" mode
+  * daemon: initialize memory when handling DeviceList params
+  * rescue: fix sscanf placeholders for --smp and --memsize
+  * daemon: add and use a reply_with_unavailable_feature macro
