A note from the maintainer:
rc4 contains three fixes for late-breaking security bugs. The plan
is to make the final 7.0 release in a week's time on the 19th April,
with no further changes, unless we discover some last-minute
catastrophic problem.
You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 7.0 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs using our GitLab issue tracker:
QEMU 7.0 seems to trigger an issue with makensis which is used for
building the QEMU installer for Windows: it terminates with different
kinds to errors (SIGBUS, SIGSEGV and mmap related errors) depending on
the details of the build environment.
I currently think that this is related to the total size of the
installed components which exceeds 2 GiB. Maybe a 32 bit int value is
used somewhere in makensis.
A simple workaround is removing /SOLID in qemu.nsi, but that increases
the size of the installer significantly.
Stripping the executables might also help to stay below the critical size.
I'm sorry that I missed sending patches to add qemu-storage-daemon.exe
to qemu.nsi and for some format strings in calls of vu_panic. I don't
think those are critical for the release.
Kind regards,
Stefan
