+      <p>This quarter, the Hyper-V storage driver was greatly improved:
+	its performance was increased by a factor of 1.2-2 by applying
+	BUS_DMA and UNMAP_IO, enlarging the request queue, and selecting the
+	outgoing channel with the LUN considered;  TRIM/UNMAP was enabled;
+	and some critical bugs (PRs 209443, 211000, 212998) were fixed so
+	that disk hot add/remove and VHDX online resizing should work
+	now.</p>
+
+      <p>The VMBus driver also received attention, with enhancements made for
+	the handling of device hot add/remove.</p>
+
+      <p> In the Hyper-V network driver, configurable RSS key and dynamic
+	MTU change are now supported.</p>
+
+      <p>&os; images on Azure continue to be updated &mdash; after
+	publishing the &os; 10.3 VM image on the global Microsoft Azure in
+	June, Microsoft also published the VM image on the Microsoft Azure
+	operated by 21Vianet in China in September.</p>
+
+      <p>Patches have been developed to support PCIe pass-through (also
+	known as Discrete Device Assignment); this feature allows physical
+	PCIe devices to be passed through to &os; VMs running on Hyper-V
+	(Windows Server 2016), giving them near-native performance with low
+	CPU utilization.  The patch to enable the feature will be posted for
+	review soon.</p>
