Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
first+second release candidate for the QEMU 10.2 release (there was no
rc0 published this time around). This release is meant for testing purposes
and should not be used in a production environment.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 10.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs using our GitLab issue tracker:

candidates, are available at:

Is our release schedule still accurate ?

rc2 was targetted at Nov 25th, but in git I see rc2 tagged yesterday
which is when rc3 was scheduled for tagging.

Are we going to go for another -rc next Tuesday, or straight from
rc2 to the release ?

With regards,
Daniel

I got the impression from Richard that this was a delay rather than a
skipped tag.

I was also late on processing the delayed rc2 tag.

So I think shifting the release schedule by 1 week to account for the
delays would be best, if that's not already the plan.

But I'll let Richard confirm.

Thanks,

Mike
