[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.0-rc3

[Anthony Liguori <anthony@codemonkey.ws>]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of QEMU 1.0, 
release candidate 4.  This is the forth and hopefully last release candidate for 
the 1.0 release. This is not intended for production use but rather for testing.

To participate in the testing effort, please read the Testing Wiki[1] and sign 
up to test a subsystem.  Any problems should be reported on Launchpad[2] or 
qemu-devel.

If you've contributed to the 1.0 release, please take a moment and update the 
Changelog[3] so we can have a high quality change log for the release.

The full release schedule[4] is also available on the wiki.

Known Issues:

  - None!

Please note, this release contains a fix for a CVE vulnerability in the usb-ccid 
device.  Please make sure that you are using at least this version if you use 
the usb-ccid device.
