Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 4.2 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  will make the final 4.2.0 release on Tuesday 3rd December;
  otherwise we'll have an rc4 on the 3rd and make the final
  release the week after on the 10th.
