[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.0.0-rc0 is now available

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
first release candidate for the QEMU 2.0 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.0.0-rc0.tar.bz2

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.0 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/

The release plan for the 2.0 release is available at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.0

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 2.0 release below:

http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/Next

Regards,

Anthony Liguori

I could do some updates for linux-user - but how does one get an account to
edit on wiki.l.o ?

I've run into an issue with the SeaBIOS submodule included in the QEMU
tarball: The SeaBIOS scripts/buildversion.sh script looks for a .git
directory or file and, if absent, goes on to look for a .version file,
neither of which the QEMU tarball ships. That means it will fall back to
"?" as version, whereas the binary blob contributed by Gerd displays
"rel-1.7.4-0-g96917a8".

Should our tarball workflow include generating a roms/seabios/.version
file based on git-describe in that directory to fix this mismatch?

Thanks,
Andreas

I build them from a git checkout, where it works as .git is present.

Makes sense.
