[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.10.0-rc4 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fifth release candidate for the QEMU 2.10 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-2.10.0-rc4.tar.xz
  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-2.10.0-rc4.tar.xz.sig

A note from the maintainer:

  This release contains last minute fixes for some bugs affecting
  PowerPC hosts and also for bugs in the QEMU network block device code.
  Any final testing should therefore be concentrated on these areas.
  We plan to make the final release of QEMU 2.10 on Wednesday 30th
  August.
  
  (30th August happens to be my birthday, but this is purely
  coincidental :-))

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.10 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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

The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release
candidates, are available at:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.10

Has it not been the intent to include the following patch in 2.10:

  [PATCH] scsi-bus: correct responses for INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg03351.html
  Message-Id: <1503049022-14749-1-git-send-email-hare@suse.de>

Paolo CC'd it to stable.

Apologies if I misunderstood.

Thanks,
Laszlo

I should have sent a pull request, but I wasn't paying attention when
people decided that there would have been an -rc4.  The qemu-stable@ CC
means it will be picked up in 2.10.1.

Thanks,

Paolo

Nobody flagged it up on the wiki planning page or replied to my
"are there any other RC things we should fix for 2.10" emails
about it. If it has to go into an RC then it needs to get my
attention as a release-critical bug (which is a stronger
criterion than just should-go-into-next-stable release).

No problem, it was nice-to-have indeed, but since Laszlo has fixed it in
OVMF it is not a tragedy.

Sorry, my recent workload has totally prevented me from even skimming
the subjects on qemu-devel :(

I vaguely remember that I had edited a similar wiki page for an earlier
release, about an issue I had perceived release critical. But, this
memory has failed to surface in my consciousness soon enough. Something
something workload something.

Right!
