+        <description>
+          When using thin provisioning, management tools need to resize the
+          disk in certain cases. To avoid having them to poll disk usage
+          this version introduces an event which will be fired when a given
+          offset of the storage is written by the hypervisor. Together with the
+          API it allows registering thresholds for given storage backing
+          volumes and this event will then notify management if the threshold
+          is exceeded. Currently only the qemu driver supports this.

+          qemu's implementation of the hyperv panic notifier now reports
+          information about the crash from the guest os. Starting with this
+          version, libvirt logs the information to the vm log file for possible
+          debugging.
