Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:04:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911-fix_documentation-v2-3-716b2613c477@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911-fix_documentation-v2-0-716b2613c477@suse.com>
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Add the testers guide description to the user documentation index.
Expand the network API page stub with single-host and two-host
overviews and references. Clarify the legacy shell API comparison table
and add the missing needs_cpu_vendor field.
