[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.1.0-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 2.1 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.1.0-rc3.tar.bz2

Note from Peter Maydell:

  There is currently one known outstanding release critical issue
  (relating to migration of the "pc-2.0" machine).  We expect to fix this
  later this week and produce an rc4 with that fix and any final late-breaking
  critical fixes (hopefully none!), prior to doing the final release on
  Tuesday 29th next week.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.1 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:
