Enhancements
- The snapshot API can now bypass guest quiescence, which gives you more control over VM snapshots.
- More ports are available for remote connections, so you can have more replication partnerships at once.
- VM startup and live migration are more reliable. Recoveries can now be interrupted when the target node needs VSD leases.
Fixes
- Fixed an issue where a background task that cleans up old block information could cause snapshot operations to hang.
