Known issues
Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.
Still unfixed
- OSX cocoa UI: don't pass clicks to guest if window is in background (targeting rc3)
- a few S390 patches (targeting rc3)
- a use-after-free bug in qemu-char.c that causes vhost-user test to fail in some setups, notably the Travis CI https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-11/msg06162.html
Fixed in rc0
- netmap.c compile failures
- Mac OS 9 compatibility improvements (upstream rework)
- fix Highbank model by adding board setup blob
- migration: fix analyze-migration.py script
- revert of VHOST_RESET_DEVICE change
- bugs in ARM gdbstub singlestep and breakpoint handling
- configure barfs if there's no c++ compiler (fortify-source test is assuming $cxx is defined)
- Zynq ADC controller
- migration doesn't work on OSX (migrate_init zeroes out the mutex)
- migration/ram.c 32-bit compile fixes
