[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.6.2 Stable released

[Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the QEMU v1.6.2 stable release is now
available at:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.6.2.tar.bz2

v1.6.2 is now tagged in the official qemu.git repository,
and the stable-1.6 branch has been updated accordingly:

  http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-1.6

This release contains 39 build/bug fixes, including an
important fix for the stable backport of the CVE-2013-4344 patch
involving SCSI disk emulation (192d2f4), and a fix to restore cross-
version migration compatibility between 1.6 and earlier/newer versions
of QEMU (53e8cf9):

Thank you to everyone involved!
