possibilities of using different hypervisors. Currently Qubes OS uses Xen.
* Xen 4.4 - many new features, but for us the most important is much more
mature libxl toolstack.
* Qrexec 3 - greatly improved performance by using direct VM-VM connections and
bigger buffers.
* Debian templates gets official support.
* Whonix templates
* Build system improvements
* Build system improvements - especially support for distribution-specific
plugins (makes supporting multiple distributions much easier) and building
templates using DispVM.
