QEMU 5.0-rc1 Released For Linux Virtualization With The Stable Update Coming This Month
Some of the work to be found with the upcoming QEMU 5.0 includes:
- Dbus-VMstate is a new back-end for letting external processes migrate their data along with QEMU.
- Virtiofsd is now included that interfaces with vhost-user-fs to provide a pass-through to a host file-system directory.
- Bluetooth support was dropped from QEMU as it was unmaintained and likely broken for some time.
- Emulation of more ARMv8 architecture features. The Cortex-M7 CPU is also now supported.
- TPM support for ARM.
- QEMU 5.0 has experimental support for the RISC-V v0.5 draft hypervisor extension.
More of the work building up for QEMU 5.0 can be found via this Wiki page. QEMU.org Git has v5.0-rc1 for those wanting to test it ahead of the stable release slated for late April.
