Hello, On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the QEMU 5.0.0 release. This release contains 2800+ commits from 232 authors.
You can grab the tarball from our download page here: https://www.qemu.org/download/#source The full list of changes are available at: https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/5.0 Highlights include: * Support for passing host filesystem directory to guest via virtiofsd * Live migration support for external processes running on QEMU D-Bus * Support for using memory backends for main/"built-in" guest RAM * block: support for compressed backup images via block jobs * block: qemu-img: 'measure' command now supports LUKS images, 'convert' command now supports skipping zero'ing of target image * block: experimental support for qemu-storage-daemon, which provides access to QEMU block-layer/QMP features like blocks jobs or built-in NBD server without starting a full VM * ARM: support for the following architecture features: ARMv8.1 VHE/VMID16/PAN/PMU ARMv8.2 UAO/DCPoP/ATS1E1/TTCNP ARMv8.3 RCPC/CCIDX ARMv8.4 PMU/RCPC * ARM: support for Cortex-M7 CPU * ARM: new board support for tacoma-bmc, Netduino Plus 2, and Orangepi PC * ARM: 'virt' machine now supports vTPM and virtio-iommu devices * HPPA: graphical console support via HP Artist graphics device * MIPS: support for GINVT (global TLB invalidation) instruction * PowerPC: 'pseries' machine no longer requires reboot to negotiate between XIVE/XICS interrupt controllers when ic-mode=dual * PowerPC: 'powernv' machine can now emulate KVM hardware acceleration to run KVM guests while in TCG mode * PowerPC: support for file-backed NVDIMMs for persistent memory emulation * RISC-V: 'virt' and 'sifive_u' boards now support generic syscon drivers in Linux to control power/reboot * RISC-V: 'virt' board now supports Goldfish RTC * RISC-V: experimental support for v0.5 of draft hypervisor extension * s390: support for Adapter Interrupt Suppression while running in KVM mode * and lots more... Thank you to everyone involved!
