[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 2.3.0-rc1 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
second release candidate for the QEMU 2.3 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-2.3.0-rc1.tar.bz2

We're currently aware of issue an involving VNC disconnects due to a
recent CVE fix. This will likely be addressed in a follow-up.
