User-mode emulation
- The long standing issue of linux-user failing to emulate signals and threads properly has been fixed thanks to Timothy E Baldwin's patchset implementing system call restarting, and Peter Maydell's further fixes
- fixes to fcntl, fadvise, msgrcv and other syscalls
- added rtnetlink(7) support
Deprecated and removed host or target support
- QEMU no longer supports building the linux-user targets on HPPA or m68k host systems
- The unicore32-linux-user target is unmaintained and implements a different system call ABI from mainline Linux for this architecture. We plan to drop support for it in QEMU 2.8.
