[Qemu-devel] BIOS and VGABIOS

Hi all!

Some of the patches in your BIOS patch queue are now applied to the Bochs BIOS 
code in CVS. The LGPL'd VGABIOS has been updated to version 0.6c.

Thanks Volker.

I plan on grabbing a new version of the Bochs BIOS and VGABIOS before 
the 0.11 release.  I guess the 0.11 release will happen sometime around 
August of this year.  Do you have any suggestion about what time frame 
would be the best to pull it wrt overall stability?

LGPL'd VGABIOS:
Only a few changes have been made in the last 10 months, so I decided to 
change the version number from 0.6b to 0.6c following the version number 
format used in the past. I only wanted to have a new version for our new 
Bochs release and I don't expect important changes in the next months.
So you can use the release 0.6c for Qemu if you want to.

Bochs BIOS:
We currently preparing the new Bochs release 2.4 (pre1 released on April 
18th). I think it's a good time to sync the BIOS and update the patch queue 
when the final release is out. I don't know exactly when we do that, but I 
expect that it can happen in May.
