Subject: [Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.1.0 is now available
Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:41:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140801164142.5291.7527@loki> (raw)

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of
the QEMU 2.1.0 release. This release contains 2200+ commits from 180
authors.

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.1.0.tar.bz2

The full list of changes are available at:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.1

Highlights include:

 * Support for memory hotplug on x86 guests
 * Support for pinning memory on host NUMA nodes on x86 guests
 * Basic hot-plug/hot-unplug support for x86 guests using Q35 machine-type
 * Support for TCG-based system emulation on AArch64 (in addition
   KVM-based virtualization)
 * AArch64 SHA and Crypto instruction support.
 * Support for VFIO-based device passthrough on pSeries/PowerKVM guests
 * Migration support for virtio-ccw on s390x guests
 * Improved IOMMU emulation for SPARC guests
 * Full support for USB3 passthrough (including streams).
 * Multi-seat support for GTK+ and SDL 2.0 UIs, and lots of bug fixes.
 * Dedicated threading model for virtio-blk, virtio-blk dataplane, now supports
   almost all features of the block layer including: image formats, POSIX AIO,
   I/O throttling, statistics and error recovery
 * Fixes migration from QEMU 1.7 when certain bridge/CPU combinations are in
   use (see changelog for notes on migration incompatibilities between 2.0
   and 2.1 for certain guest configuations), and new code/tools to detect
   migration issues
 * And lots more...

Thank you to everyone involved!

Sincerely,

Michael Roth
