[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 3.0.0-rc3 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 3.0 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-3.0.0-rc3.tar.xz
  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-3.0.0-rc3.tar.xz.sig

A note from the maintainer:

  In an ideal world, rc3 will be our final release candidate before
  final release. If we find no further showstopper regression bugs
  that would require a new release candidate, we'll do the final
  release on the 7th. If we do need to roll an rc4, final release
  will likely be on the 14th.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 3.0 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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

The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release
candidates, are available at:

Thank you to everyone involved!
