+No functional changes. Verification release for v0.1.4: the previous
+release shipped the running-VMs-survive-update fix, but updating
+*to* v0.1.4 from v0.1.3 used v0.1.3's buggy driver, so the fix
+couldn't be verified live in that direction. v0.1.5 exists so a
+host on v0.1.4 can update to it and observe a running VM survive
+end-to-end with v0.1.4 in the driver seat.
