I think ^this is related to the entry below, so that would IMHO suffice.

I'd say:
Libvirt has supported 'raw' input volumes for encryption since 4.5.0. Now, it's
not going to limit the usage to 'raw' only anymore.

Too verbose, how about:
The --domain option for domxml-to-native virsh command has always been
documented as required, but commit v4.3.0-127-gd86531daf2 accidentally made it
optional.

Now, this is just a matter of preference, you did a good job, but I'd probably
also mention the following:
09d35afd2c util: file: introduce VIR_AUTOCLOSE macro to close fd of the file automatic

0396cf5336 virsh: Implement vsh-table to iface-list (basically extending it to
the whole virsh)
your call...with the grammar adjustments mentioned above:
