[ANNOUNCE] QEMU 4.2.0-rc4 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fifth release candidate for the QEMU 4.2 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  rc4 has a small collection of bugfixes which didn't quite make rc3.
  Unless there is a critical bug discovered in the next week, we
  plan to release 4.2.0 on Tuesday 10th December.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 4.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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

The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release
candidates, are available at:

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 4.2 release below:

Thank you to everyone involved!
