Hello, On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the QEMU 8.1.0 release. This release contains 2900+ commits from 250 authors.
You can grab the tarball from our download page here: https://www.qemu.org/download/#source The full list of changes are available at: https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/8.1 Highlights include: * VFIO: improved live migration support, no longer an experimental feature * GTK GUI now supports multi-touch events * ARM, PowerPC, and RISC-V can now use AES acceleration on host processor * PCIe: new QMP commands to inject CXL General Media events, DRAM events and Memory Module events * ARM: KVM VMs on a host which supports MTE (the Memory Tagging Extension) can now use MTE in the guest * ARM: emulation support for bpim2u (Banana Pi BPI-M2 Ultra) board and neoverse-v1 (Cortex Neoverse-V1) CPU * ARM: new architectural feature support for: FEAT_PAN3 (SCTLR_ELx.EPAN), FEAT_LSE2 (Large System Extensions v2), and experimental support for FEAT_RME (Realm Management Extensions) * Hexagon: new instruction support for v68/v73 scalar, and v68/v69 HVX * Hexagon: gdbstub support for HVX * MIPS: emulation support for Ingenic XBurstR1/XBurstR2 CPUs, and MXU instructions * PowerPC: TCG SMT support, allowing pseries and powernv to run with up to 8 threads per core * PowerPC: emulation support for Power9 DD2.2 CPU model, and perf sampling support for POWER CPUs * RISC-V: ISA extension support for BF16/Zfa, and disassembly support for Zcm*/Z*inx/XVentanaCondOps/Xthead * RISC-V: CPU emulation support for Veyron V1 * RISC-V: numerous KVM/emulation fixes and enhancements * s390: instruction emulation fixes for LDER, LCBB, LOCFHR, MXDB, MXDBR, EPSW, MDEB, MDEBR, MVCRL, LRA, CKSM, CLM, ICM, MC, STIDP, EXECUTE, and CLGEBR(A) * SPARC: updated target/sparc to use tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr() for improved performance * Tricore: emulation support for TC37x CPU that supports ISA v1.6.2 instructions * Tricore: instruction emulation of POPCNT.W, LHA, CRC32L.W, CRC32.B, SHUFFLE, SYSCALL, and DISABLE * x86: CPU model support for GraniteRapids * and lots more... Thank you to everyone involved!
