> Feel free to report any further issues in this release candidate
> either to xen-tools-dev at xen-tools.org or (in case of using the Debian
> package) via the Debian Bug Tracking System, e.g. with "reportbug
> xen-tools". I'm especially keen to know about any regressions compared
> to the previous stable release (4.3.1).
>
> Changes:
>
>   * Also switch from cdn.debian.net to http.debian.net in
>     xen-tools.conf
>
>   * Do not run "passwd" via runCommand as that one captures STDOUT for
>     logging. Makes --passwd usable again. Thanks Christian Herzog!
>
>   * Loop around calling "passwd" to get a second chance to change the
>     password. (Closes: #703159) Thanks to Joan <aseques at gmail.com> for a
>     bug fix in this new code.
>
>   * Declares one more POD encoding and recode Xen::Tools::Common to
>     UTF-8. Fixes build-failures with Perl 5.18. (Finally closes:
>     #720519)
>
>   * Apply patch by Philipp Erbelding to fix overzealous line matching
>     in xen-list-images. (Gitorious merge request #5)
>
>   * xen-list-images now displays a unit after the memory size
>
>   * Drop support for memory size in kilobytes in xen-create-image,
>     neither xt-create-xen-config nor xm support it.
>
>   * Refactoring: Replace all occurrences of "! -z" by "-n" in hooks
>     and bash completion.
>
>   * Handle potentially empty gateway setting properly in
>     hooks/common/40-setup-networking-deb. Thanks Simone Caruso!
>
>   * Reformat hooks/common/40-setup-networking-deb so that the result
>     neither has trailing whitespace nor broken indentation.
>
>   * Also display MAC address after the DomU has been created.
>
>   * Preliminary support for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
>
>   * Added --maxmem flag to set a maximum value for dynamic memory
>     ballooning. Thanks to Joan <aseques at gmail.com> for the patch!
>
>   * Added fix by Patryk Ściborek againsat disableStartStopDaemon()
>     aborting under some circumstances. (Closes: #725192)
>
>   * Abort early and with proper error message if "xen-delete-image
>     --test" is not used with "--dir". (Closes: #704878)
>
>   * xen-delete-image: Exit with return code != 0 in all error cases.
>
>   * Refactoring: xt-create-xen-config: Use s/// to strip trailing MB
>     size suffixes.
