Hello, On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the fifth release candidate for the QEMU 6.1 release. This release is meant for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.
http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-6.1.0-rc4.tar.xz http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-6.1.0-rc4.tar.xz.sig A note from the maintainer: There are a comparatively large number of commits here for an rc4, but they are mostly changes only to documentation or the test suite; there are only a few, relatively minor, bug fixes. Hopefully the final 6.1.0 release will come out on Tuesday 24th. You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 6.1 release by testing this release and reporting bugs using our GitLab issue tracker: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release candidates, are available at: http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/6.1 Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 6.1 release below: http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/6.1 Thank you to everyone involved!
