[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.6.0-rc5 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
sixth release candidate for the QEMU 2.6 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.6.0-rc5.tar.bz2

The only changes since the last RC are security fixes for CVE-2016-3710
and CVE-2016-3712. This is planned to be the final RC prior to the 2.6.0
release, which is scheduled for Wednesday of this week.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.6 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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