[Qemu-devel] Planning for 0.13

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

I hope everyone had a happy new year!  Now that we've finished the 0.12 
release and most of us have had a nice break, I think it's time to start 
planning for the next release.

0.12 felt a bit rushed to me.  I'd like to take a bit more time with 
0.13 and try to complete features a bit more than we did in 0.12.  So I 
propose that we target 0.13 as a 6-month cycle and target a June 1st 
release.  Based on the -rc process for 0.12, I would like to have a two 
week -rc cycle for 0.13 but this time, absolutely no non-bug fixes past 
freeze.  We got sloppy in 0.12 with this and we had some ugly 
regressions in the final release.

Here are the features that I'm aware of for 0.13.  Please add anything 
you're working on and I'll try to centralize this somewhere.

 - gPXE support for virtio-blk
 - Helper based network setup
 - Balloon driver statistics
 - Fully supported QMP
 - Live migration protocol support for subvendor versions (aka features)

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
