Compatibility
=============
* All the cron trickery (used for CT reboot and network cleanup)
   is removed from this release. If you have something non-standard
   in /etc/vz/cron/ directory, please note that this is no longer
   managed by the vz initscript.

* This release contains a small daemon called vzeventd, which
   takes care of CT reboot and network cleanup. Details can be
   found in vzeventd(8) man page. Note that the kernel should
   support vzevent feature (most recent stable and 2.6.32 kernels
   do).

* vzctl set --pci_{add,del} feature needs support from the kernel.
   Currently this is only available in RHEL6 kernels starting from
   042test003.
