[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.8.0-rc3 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 2.8 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

Barring the discovery of any major issues, this is the last planned RC
before the release of QEMU 2.8, so your testing is greatly appreciated.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.8 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad or directly to the mailing list:

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