[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.6.2 Stable released

[Michael Roth]

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the QEMU v2.6.2 stable release is now
available:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.6.2.tar.bz2

v2.6.2 is now tagged in the official qemu.git repository,
and the stable-2.6 branch has been updated accordingly:

  http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-2.6

This is a fairly small update to 2.6.1 that addresses:

  - a security issue when using virtfs/virtio-9p which can lead to a guest
    gaining unintended access to the host filesystem,
  - a regression introduced into 2.6.1 which can result in live migration
    failing when virtio devices have pending entries in their virtqueues,
  - and various issues related to VNC and emulated network/storage devices,
    among other things.

Users of QEMU 2.6.1 should upgrade accordingly.

Thank you to everyone involved!
