[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.7.0-rc2 is now available

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
third release candidate for the QEMU 1.7 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 1.7 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

Hi Anthony,

is 1.7.0 already released? I didn't find an announcement, there seems to be 
only a branch / tag in git...

Thanks.

Best regards,

Erik
