### Changed
- On x86 "vga=current" can now be used together with GrUB2's gfxpayload setting. Note that
this requires use of "multiboot2" (and "module2") as the GrUB commands loading Xen.
- The "gnttab" option now has a new command line sub-option for disabling the
GNTTABOP_transfer functionality.
- The x86 MCE command line option info is now updated.
### Added / support upgraded
- Out-of-tree builds for the hypervisor now supported.
- The project has officially adopted 4 directives and 24 rules of MISRA-C,
added MISRA-C checker build integration, and defined how to document
deviations.
- IOMMU superpage support on x86, affecting PV guests as well as HVM/PVH ones
when they don't share page tables with the CPU (HAP / EPT / NPT).
- Support VIRT_SSBD feature for HVM guests on AMD.
- Support for VIRT_SSBD and MSR_SPEC_CTRL for HVM guests on AMD.
- Improved TSC, CPU, and APIC clock frequency calibration on x86.
- Add mwait-idle support for SPR and ADL on x86.
- Extend security support for hosts to 12 TiB of memory on x86.
- Add command line option to set cpuid parameters for dom0 at boot time on x86.
- Improved static configuration options on Arm.
- cpupools can be specified at boot using device tree on Arm.
- It is possible to use PV drivers with dom0less guests, allowing statically
booted dom0less guests with PV devices.
- On Arm, p2m structures are now allocated out of a pool of memory set aside at
domain creation.
- Improved mitigations against Spectre-BHB on Arm.
- Support VirtIO-MMIO devices device-tree binding creation in toolstack on Arm.
- Allow setting the number of CPUs to activate at runtime from command line
option on Arm.
- Grant-table support on Arm was improved and hardened by implementing
"simplified M2P-like approach for the xenheap pages"
- Add Renesas R-Car Gen4 IPMMU-VMSA support on Arm.
- Add i.MX lpuart and i.MX8QM support on Arm.
- Improved toolstack build system.
- Add Xue - console over USB 3 Debug Capability.
- gitlab-ci automation: Fixes and improvements together with new tests.
### Removed / support downgraded
- dropped support for the (x86-only) "vesa-mtrr" and "vesa-remap" command line options
