Hello,
On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
third release candidate for the QEMU 2.5 release. This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.5 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

Please report any known/blocking issues prior to the release of RC3, as
that is expected to become the final RC before the 2.5 release.
