Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of
the QEMU 7.1.0 release. This release contains 2800+ commits from 238
authors.

You can grab the tarball from our download page here:

  https://www.qemu.org/download/#source

  https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/7.1

Highlights include:

 * Live migration: support for zero-copy-send on Linux
 * QMP: new options for exporting NBD images with dirty bitmaps via
   'block-export-add' command
 * QMP: new 'query-stats' and 'query-stats-schema' commands for
   retrieving statistics from various QEMU subsystems
 * QEMU guest agent: improved Solaris support, new commands
   'guest-get-diskstats'/'guest-get-cpustats', 'guest-get-disks' now
   reports NVMe SMART information, and 'guest-get-fsinfo' now reports
   NVMe bus-type

 * ARM: emulation support for new machine types: Aspeed AST1030 SoC,
   Qaulcomm, and fby35 (AST2600 / AST1030)
 * ARM: emulation support for Cortex-A76 and Neoverse-N1 CPUs
 * ARM: emulation support for Scalable Matrix Extensions, cache
   speculation control, RAS, and many other CPU extensions
 * ARM: 'virt' board now supports emulation of GICv4.0
 * HPPA: new SeaBIOS v6 firmware with support for PS/2 keyboard in
   boot menu when running with GTK UI, improved serial port emulation,
   and additional STI text fonts
 * LoongArch: initial support for LoongArch64 architecture, Loongson
   3A5000 multiprocessor SoC, and the Loongson 7A1000 host bridge
 * MIPS: Nios2 board (-machine 10m50-ghrd) now support Vectored
   Interrupt Controller, shadow register sets, and improved exception
   handling
 * OpenRISC: 'or1k-sim' machine now support 4 16550A UART serial devices
   instead of 1
 * RISC-V: new ISA extensions with support for privileged spec version
   1.12.0, software access to MIP SEIP, Sdtrig extension, vector
   extension improvements, native debug, PMU improvements, and many
   other features and miscellaneous fixes/improvements
 * RISC-V: 'virt' board now supports TPM
 * RISC-V: 'OpenTitan' board now supports Ibex SPI
 * s390x: emulation support for s390x Vector-Enhancements Facility 2
 * s390x: s390-ccw BIOS now supports booting from drives with non-512
   sector sizes
 * x86: virtualization support for architectural LBRs
 * Xtensa: support for lx106 core and cache testing opcodes

 * and lots more...

Thank you to everyone involved!

Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 7.1.0 is now available

[Joel Stanley]

The new qemu release includes some good stuff from many openbmc
contriubtors, in particular for the AST2600 family of SoCs.

Thanks to everyone who has worked on that, in particular to Cedric for
his careful review and maintainer work.

Thanks for the announcement!

Do you happen to know if there is any Arm TrustZone/TEE emulation in the 
new release?  I believe the Aspeed  AST2600 supports Arm TrustZone.

Thanks,
