QEMU 2.2 Is Planned For Release Later This Week
QEMU 2.2 is coming along well and released yesterday evening was an extra release candidate due to bugs found last week that were present in 2.2-rc3. In releasing QEMU 2.2-rc4, Michael Roth expressed plans to still have the official release out on Friday, 5 December. The only changes in -rc4 were the handful of important fixes.
Among the many changes for QEMU 2.2 are improved ARM/MIPS/PowerPC/pSeries/Freescale/S390/SPARC support improvements, a new TriCore target, support for AVX512 emulation on x86 systems, IOMMU/VT-d emulation for the Q35 machine type, support for booting a bzImage or multi-boot kernel under Xen, SCSI improvements, support for USB 2.0 high-speed mice and keyboards, hot-plugging support for XHCI/EHCI/UHCI controllers, Samba 4.1 support, etc.
The -rc4 details can be found via this mailing list post.
