[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.2.0-rc3 release

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
third and final release candidate for the QEMU 1.2 release.  This
release is meant for testing purposes and should not be used in a
production environment.

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.2.0-rc3.tar.bz2

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 1.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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

The release plan for the 1.2 release is available at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/1.2

And a detailed change log is available at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/Next

Known Issues:

  - References are not completely released during device removal which
    may lead to internal memory leaks.

Changelog since -rc2:

 -console: Fix warning from clang (and potential crash) (Stefan Weil)
 -uas: move transfer kickoff (Gerd Hoffmann)
 -ehci: Fix interrupt endpoints no longer working (Hans de Goede)
 -ehci: handle TD deactivation of inflight packets (Gerd Hoffmann)

The plan does not mention rc3 and also claims that release will happen tomorrow.

Clearly Anthony should add something like the following
to his release-creation script

curl -s http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/1.2 | grep -q "Tag $VERSION" ||
echo "Release not mentioned on Planning page"

:-)

-- PMM

Well, I'm just confused what's going to be the release date and I was
expecting rc2 to be the last.

The final release will happen tomorrow.  I tagged -rc3 last week but
never announced it.

-rc3 was a compromise because a couple pull requests came in too late
 for -rc2.

I didn't update Planning for it but should have.
