Hi, On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the QEMU 1.4 release!
http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.4.0.tar.bz2 Even though this was our shortest release cycle in the history of the project, this release contains almost 1400 changesets from 116 unique authors. Major features include: * block: experimental threaded backend for virtio-blk-pci achieving up to a 900% increase in IOP rate on very large storage devices. * migration: threaded live migration, improving latency in other parts of QEMU and throughput of migration itself * usb: usb-tablet can be connected as an USB 2.0 device, lowering the CPU usage substantially * usb: improved support for pass-through of USB serial devices * virtio-net: added support supports multiqueue operation * s390: new virtio-ccw machine and transport support * x86: experimental AHCI migration support and support for device assignment for the q35 chipset * qmp: support for hotplugging character devices And more... See the ChangeLog on the wiki for a full changelog: http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/1.4 I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this release by submitting patches, testing out -rcs, or reporting bugs during the release process! Regards, Anthony Liguori
