[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.2.0-rc0 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
first release candidate for the QEMU 2.2 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 2.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/

The release plan for the 2.2 release is available at:

  http://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/2.2

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 2.2 release below:

I have found a problem with Linux User Mode hosted on Power.  I have been able to bisect it to this change:

> git bisect bad
a93934fecd4dffc9d4b452b670c9506be5dea30d is the first bad commit
commit a93934fecd4dffc9d4b452b670c9506be5dea30d

    elf: take phdr offset into account when calculating the program load address

    The first program header does not necessarily start at offset 0. This change
    corresponds to what the Linux kernel does in load_elf_binary().
