[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.12.0-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 2.12 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  If no further release critical bugs are found, we'll do the
  final release next week on the 17th; otherwise we will likely
  roll an rc4 on the 17th and do final release on the 24th.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 2.12 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

candidates, are available at:
