Hello,
On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of
the QEMU 2.6.0 release. This release contains 2400+ commits from 186
authors.
You can grab the tarball from our download page here:

The full list of changes are available at:
http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.6
Highlights include:
* Headless support for OpenGL-capable displays via Virgil/virtio-gpu
are now available via Spice client.
* virtio performance improvements through vring access optimizations
* Support for IPMI through internally emulated BMC or an external
BMC interface
* PCIe multi-root support via pxb-pcie bridge, allowing devices to be
exposed to guest on specifically-defined NUMA nodes
* Post-copy migration now officially supported
* TLS support for character devices (e.g. isa-serial port) exposed over
TCP sockets
* VFIO passthrough support for AMD XGBE 10Gb NIC
* Block device throttling now supports separate controls for burst IOPS
over a specified interval
* Image support for LUKSv1, and TLS and authentication support
for various remote disk protocols (iSCSI, NBD, RBD, ...)
* New default tracing backend, and command-line/wildcard support for
enabling specific traces
* ARM: Raspberry Pi 2 emulation support via new raspi2 machine
* ARM: virt machine now supports QEMU-signalled powerdown, and RAM
limit increased from 30GB to 255GB
* ARM: new palmetto-bmc machine type implementing ASPEED AST2400 SoC
* MIPS: support for FPU and SIMD instructions in KVM guests
* PowerPC: improved migration and serial port support for g3beige and
mac99 machines
* PowerPC: GDB stub support for VSX instruction set
* PowerPC: pseries now exposes XHCI USB by default
* s390: CPU hotplug support, and PCI/virtio-scsi improvements
* Tricore: support for FPU instructions, context management, and
illegal opcode and opd traps
* x86: KVM and TCG emulation support for PKU memory protection feature of
newer Intel CPUs within guest
* x86: resume from suspend support for Q35 machine type
* x86: support for older Windows guest (XP/2003) on Q35 machine type
* and lots more...
Thank you to everyone involved!
