[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.4.0-rc4 is now available

[Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fifth release candidate for the QEMU 2.4 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.4.0-rc4.tar.bz2

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.4 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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

The release plan for the 2.4 release is available at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.4

This is the last planned released candidate for QEMU prior to the
official release of QEMU 2.4.0. No additional patches will be applied
prior to official release unless a serious issue is discovered.

Please focus testing on the specific areas that have changed since
rc3.

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 2.4 release below:
