[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 1.0-rc3

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of QEMU 1.0, 
release candidate 3.  This is the third release candidate for the 1.0 release. 
This is not intended for production use but rather for testing.

To participate in the testing effort, please read the Testing Wiki[1] and sign 
up to test a subsystem.  Any problems should be reported on Launchpad[2] or 
qemu-devel.

If you've contributed to the 1.0 release, please take a moment and update the 
Changelog[3] so we can have a high quality change log for the release.

The full release schedule[4] is also available on the wiki.
