[ANNOUNCE] QEMU 5.2.0-rc3 is now available

[Michael Roth]

Hello,

On behalf of the QEMU Team, I'd like to announce the availability of the
fourth release candidate for the QEMU 5.2 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-5.2.0-rc3.tar.xz
  http://download.qemu-project.org/qemu-5.2.0-rc3.tar.xz.sig

A note from the maintainer:

  This is the final planned rc for the 5.2 release cycle. Unless
  we find any last minute show-stopper bugs, we will release 5.2.0
  on Tuesday 1st December. If we need an rc4 then we'll likely put that
  out on the 1st, with the final release a few days or a week after that.
  
  Note that QEMU has switched build systems so you will need
  to install ninja to compile it. See the "Build Information"
  section of the Changelog for more information about this change.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 5.2 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/

The release plan, as well a documented known issues for release
candidates, are available at:

Please add entries to the ChangeLog for the 5.2 release below:

Thank you to everyone involved!
