Hi,
On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
QEMU 1.5.0 release!
http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.5.0.tar.bz2
This release was developed in a little more than 90 days by over 130
unique authors averaging 20 commits a day. This represents a
year-to-year growth of over 38 percent making it the most active release
in QEMU history.
Highlights of this release include:
- KVM for ARM support
- A native GTK+ UI with internationalization support
- Experimental VFIO support for VGA passthrough
- Kernel accelerated paravirtual SCSI via tcm_vhost support
- TLS support for VNC over websockets
- VHDX support (read-only)
- Significant performance improvements for TCG on Windows hosts
- Support for VMware PVSCSI and VMXNET3 device emulation
- USB passthrough now uses libusb
- Support for booting from virtio-ccw for s390x guests
- Paravirtual guest panic notification support
- TPM passthrough support
- CPU hot-add support
- Character device hotplug and other improvements
- QCOW2 internal snapshot performance improvements
- And much more...

patches, testing out -rcs, or reporting bugs during the release process!
Regards,
Anthony Liguori
