[Qemu-stable] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.2.1 Stable released

[mdroth]

Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that the QEMU v1.2.1 stable release is now
available at:

http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.2.1.tar.bz2

The official stable-1.2 repository has also been updated to v1.2.1:

http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu-stable-1.2.git;a=summary

This release includes 242 build/bug fixes, including critical fixes for
a number of TCG system targets that were not functioning when running in
interpreted mode.

Please note that this release was tested/tagged as of October 12, but the
official release was pushed back due to a number of delays. A 1.2.2
release is planned for early December, following the release of QEMU
1.3, to pick up any patches for stable that came in after that date.

Also note that, starting with 1.2.2, we will be relying much more heavily
on address@hidden submissions to identify candidate patches for
stable releases. Assume that any patch not CC'd to qemu-stable will not
make a stable release. This is partly to address scaling issues on my part,
but also to give further scrutiny to stable candidates and share/combine some
of the efforts from other contributors and maintainers involved in the
process.

I will do my part in CC'ing qemu-stable on any patches outside of qemu-stable
that I'm considering for a release. Developers/users are highly encouraged to
do the same; even if ultimately some patches prove unsuitable, it's better to
err on the side of caution, so please feel free to CC qemu-stable on any
patches you suspect are applicable.

Thanks!
