User level instructions for modern qcow2 encryption?

[Jakob Bohm]

A few versions ago, qcow2 encryption was completely redesigned based on 
LUKS full disc encryption instead of the old ad-hoc design in older 
qcow2 versions.

However, looking in the end user documentations (mostly man pages), I 
have been unable to find coherent high level documentation directed at 
qemu users (as opposed to design documents for qemu developers).

Main questions:

1. From what minimum qemu released version (corresponding to official 
tarballs) is the modern qcow2 encryption and its user interface (qemu-* 
command lines and human monitor commands) fully implemented and stable?

2. Where can I find a complete configuration example using only qemu-* 
binaries (not libvirt, proxmox or other high level wrappers)?

Enjoy
