+      <p>Per-ring polling, multi-packet RNDIS messages, and system RSS
+	integration have been implemented, further optimizing the
+	throughput and latency of the Hyper-V network driver.</p>
+
+      <p>Live virtual machine backup is implemented (for now, only for
+	UFS), after the VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service), which it
+	depends on, was implemented.</p>
+
+      <p>PCIe pass-through is implemented, and the patches to
+      implement NIC SR-IOV are being reviewed on Phabricator.</p>
+
+      <p>vDSO support for speeding up <tt>gettimeofday(2)</tt> is now
+	implemented.</p>

+	is also available now, in addition to the existing 10.3
+	image.</p>
+
+      <p>We fixed an issue where SCSI disks would sometimes fail to
+	attach, resolving bug 215171 ([Hyper-V] Fail to attach SCSI disk
+	from LUN 8 on Win2008R2/Win2012/Win2012R2).</p>
