[ANNOUNCE] qemu-kvm-0.10.4

[Avi Kivity]

qemu-kvm-0.10.4 is now available.  This is the first release of the 0.10 
stable branch of qemu-kvm.  The qemu-kvm 0.10.4 includes all of the 
features and fixes of qemu-0.10.4, plus adaptations for improved kvm 
support.

Note that qemu-kvm releases do not include the kvm external modules 
(kvm*.ko); you can use the modules provided by your distribution, 
modules from the development releases (kvm-xx), or from the kvm-kmod 
stable branch releases once they become available.

As this is the first release of this branch there is no changelog; 
qemu-kvm-0.10.4 is roughly equivalent (but is not identical) to qemu 
from kvm-84.

this's the plan? ie. the stable userspace will be about kvm-84?
what's the plan for kvm-kmod release date and it's also be somewhere ~ 84?

AIUI it, the plan is:

  - There will be stable releases of qemu-kvm in sync with qemu 
    upstream releases - e.g. you can expect a qemu-kvm-0.11.0 release
    shortly after qemu-0.11.0 is released

  - There will be no stable releases, as such, of the kernel module. 
    You should use upstream linux releases instead - e.g. the latest
    stable release is 2.6.29.2

  - The kvm-XX releases are development snapshots of the kvm.git and 
    qemu-kvm.git code

For example, in Fedora, our plan is that we will ship the kvm.ko
included in upstream linux releases and the qemu-kvm stable releases[1].
We may include qemu-kvm from kvm-XX releases during the development of
the next Fedora release, but only as a preview of the next qemu-kvm
stable release.

Cheers,
Mark.

and what's the plan for rhel-5.4? in this case latest stable kernel
can't be used since 5.x series are always 2.6.18 based and if there is
not a stable kvm-kmod branch then...?

Actually, I do plan to release kvm-kmod-2.6.30 (and kvm-kmod-2.6.30.x).
