[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.2.0-rc3 is now available

[Michael Roth]

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 2.2 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.2.0-rc3.tar.bz2

We're currently aware of the following release-critical bugs in this
release candidate:

 * virtio-net leaks CPU mappings, causing crashes under Xen
   and possible migration errors under KVM
 * device_del auto-completion in the monitor crashes
 * long timeouts in QEMU main loop can overflow and cause busy-waiting

When we have reviewed fixes for these bugs we plan to release an
rc4 (hopefully by the end of the week). The date for final release
of 2.2.0 will therefore slip by a few days to 2014-12-05 to allow
for testing of rc4.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:
