[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.0-rc3

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of QEMU 1.0, 
release candidate 4.  This is the forth and hopefully last release candidate for 
the 1.0 release. This is not intended for production use but rather for testing.

To participate in the testing effort, please read the Testing Wiki[1] and sign 
up to test a subsystem.  Any problems should be reported on Launchpad[2] or 
qemu-devel.

If you've contributed to the 1.0 release, please take a moment and update the 
Changelog[3] so we can have a high quality change log for the release.

The full release schedule[4] is also available on the wiki.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.0-rc4.tar.gz

Known Issues:

  - None!

Please note, this release contains a fix for a CVE vulnerability in the usb-ccid 
device.  Please make sure that you are using at least this version if you use 
the usb-ccid device.

Apart from the subject being wrong again ;), we all know this is a lie:

ARM host and Darwin host are known broken.

Please note that for the final Release Notes.

The ARM host bit is noted, in the ARM section. If you want
to pull it up to the 'general' bit to go in the same place
as a note about Darwin, that's fine by me (might be a bit
more prominent there).

My choice of wording was poor.  The section should be "known issues to be fixed 
before release".

The default MIPS system emulation (Malta) won't work in this release.
A bug in interrupt handling will either crash QEMU or result in
some devices which are unusable (ethernet, ...).

I just sent another patch which fixes this issue.

Please consider applying one of my patches (or any other solution:
it's also possible to revert Avi's patch) to the final QEMU 1.0.
I know that you tried to make 1.0-rc4 == 1.0, but I think that
a bug fix which is limited to mips_malta.c won't harm and is
better than releasing 1.0 with an unusable MIPS system emulation.

Cheers,
Stefan
