[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 3.0.0-rc0 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
first release candidate for the QEMU 3.0 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  Here's the first release candidate for the upcoming QEMU 3.0 release.
  Why 3.0? Well, we felt that our version numbers were getting a bit
  unwieldy, and since this year is QEMU's 15th birthday it seemed like a
  good excuse to roll over the major digit. Going forward we plan to
  increment the major version once a year, for the first release of the
  year. Don't read too much into it: it doesn't imply a drastic
  compatibility break.
  
  Rumours of our triskaidekaphobia have been greatly exaggerated :-)

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 3.0 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:
