* This release has moved many virt tools like virt-builder,
virt-cat, virt-customize, virt-df, etc. to the guestfs-tools
project. This makes libguestfs a bit easier to build and manage.
* The build now uses and requires PCRE2 (instead of PCRE).
* This version requires libvirt ≥ 7.1.0, if libvirt is enabled.
* gnulib is no longer bundled with libguestfs, making builds from
git much simpler.
* Perl Sys::Virt (libvirt bindings for Perl) are no longer
required by libguestfs.
* The code has been compiled with both LTO and GCC -fanalyzer and
many bugs and warnings fixed.
* Various fixes for qemu 6.1.
* Update appliance packages on SUSE and several other improvements
to the init script (Olaf Hering).
* We now use the qemu / libvirt feature -cpu max to select the
best CPU to run the appliance.
* When passing the appliance filesystem UUID to supermin we now
read it directly out of the appliance instead of using the
file(1) program. This is more reliable.
* The qemu -enable-fips option is no longer used. It was not
needed and has been deprecated by qemu.
* We no longer use qemu's sga (Serial Graphics Adapter) option
ROM, instead using the equivalent seabios feature.
* Various bug fixes
