[Qemu-devel] [ANNOUNCE] QEMU 4.1.0-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 4.1 release.  This release is meant
for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.

A note from the maintainer:

  Unless there are any release critical bugs discovered, this
  will be the last release candidate before final release of 4.1.0
  on the 6th August. Otherwise we'll do an rc4 and release on
  the 13th August.

You can help improve the quality of the QEMU 4.1 release by testing this
release and reporting bugs on Launchpad:

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