[Qemu-devel] ANNOUNCE: Release 0.10.0 of QEMU

[Qemu-devel] ANNOUNCE: Release 0.10.0 of QEMU

[Anthony Liguori]

The QEMU team is pleased to announce the availability of the 0.10.0 
release.  This release has been a year in the making and is the result 
of almost 3,000 changesets from around 80 developers.

It can be downloaded from Savannah at:

  http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/qemu/qemu-0.10.0.tar.gz

The changes are too numerous to list here, but some highlights include:

 o TCG support
  - No longer requires GCC 3.x
 o Kernel Virtual Machine acceleration support
 o BSD userspace emulation
 o Bluetooth emulation and host passthrough support
 o GDB XML register description support
 o Intel e1000 emulation
 o HPET emulation
 o VirtIO paravirtual device support
 o Marvell 88w8618 / MusicPal emulation
 o Nokia N-series tablet emulation / OMAP2 processor emulation
 o PCI hotplug support
 o Live migration and new save/restore formats
 o Curses display support
 o qemu-nbd utility to mount supported block formats
 o Altivec support in PPC emulation and new firmware (OpenBIOS)
 o Multiple VNC clients are now supported
 o TLS encryption is now supported in VNC
 o Many, many, bug fixes and new features

We would also like to dedicate this release to the memory of Thiemo 
Seufer, who died tragically in a car accident on December 26th, 2008.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori (on behalf of the QEMU team)

Does this new release change the way in which the KVM and Qemu
projects interact or will KVM continue to maintain its own updated
Qemu version?

You can think of KVM's QEMU tree as a staging tree.  There are some 
large changes that are taking some time to merge fully, but we're slowly 
getting there.  A huge chunk of the changes in KVM's tree have already 
been merged for this release.  At the current rate, we should have 
almost everything merged by the next QEMU release.

I don't want to speak for Avi, but I expect that we'll start seeing KVM 
userspace releases that more closely match the QEMU release process too.

So I offer a glass of champagne to all the developers.

Also I take the moment to remember all of you that our official OS  
Support List is alive at http://www.claunia.com/qemu/

I am working on seeing if I can package this up for Solaris/SPARC.

I will put a postinstall script in so the last thing the users see is
a dedication to Thiemo.

I'm crossing my fingers that it will work on Solaris 10/sparc.

Does this actually work on 32bit i386 for anyone?
I thought this would block pretty much any use of it:

I test on x86_64.  FWIW, this I'll merge this patch into the stable tree.

Since we have nested KVM now, can you test on x86_32 inside a VM? :-)

good idea

I'd like to pack the next release of U-Boot for the emulation system that
support it. I'll prepare a patch next week

N.B. The website is going to take a little time to be updated but the 
release is available from this location.

While you're at it, qemu.org is still pointing to a "click here to be 
redirected" page rather than aliasing bellard.org/qemu properly.  (This has 
been true for about a year now.)

The domain claims to be owned by Olivier Guillaumin, who would probably be 
this guy:
http://www.intersec.com/en/group/team/board

But the website for (and contact page of) his company is entirely in french:
http://www.netgem.com/contactUs.php

Anybody here speak french?

Note also that the documentation is still from 0.9.1.

It may be worth adding a comment after the 'QEMU Internals' link
(and perhaps in the documentation itself) to indicate that some 
parts of it (i.e. those that reference dyngen) are out of date.

BTW, the 'status' page also needs updating -- at least, support for
MIPS, S390, IA64, M68K and Alpha hosts has been lost, and there is now
'dev only' HPPA support.  I also wonder how accurate the Target CPU
support section is -- is x86_64 user emulation still badly broken?

Thanks, I've fixed this.  BTW, the new website URL is 
http://www.nongnu.org/qemu.  I'm looking into getting qemu.org 
redirected to there.

Let me straighten out the website hosting and maybe we can move to a wiki.

Great news! It's so refreshing to know I can use new official Qemu release :)

No wonder I don't see Thiemo's posts anymore. My condolescence.... his
works will be forever remembered inside Qemu code

Mulyadi.
