[Qemu-stable] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.7.1 Stable released

[Michael Roth]

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the QEMU v2.7.1 stable release is now
available:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.7.1.tar.bz2

v2.7.1 is now tagged in the official qemu.git repository,
and the stable-2.7 branch has been updated accordingly:

  http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable-2.7

This update fixes a number of issues relating to migration for
both x86 and pseries guests, and addresses a broad range of bugs.
Users should upgrade accordingly.

Thank you to everyone involved!
