version 1.4.0pre1:

 - API change: identical ioctls for 32 and 64 bit modes, allowing the use of the 32 bit user space QEMU on a 64 bit host.
 - Added KQEMU_SET_PHYS_MEM ioctl to separate the physical memory mappings of kqemu from the QEMU ones.
 - Added communication page for paravirtualization. A paravirtualized guest OS can modify its IF and IOPL flags without a fallback to the KQEMU x86 interpreter.
 - fixed CBW instruction emulation (aka Linux 2.6.25 bug)

version 1.3.0pre11:

 - dynamic device '/dev/kqemu' creation is now the default.
 - '-fno-stack-protector' gcc option fix
 - added kqemu regression tests (can serve as API usage example too)

 - Changed license to GPL version 2
 - x86_64 full virtualization support

version 1.3.0pre9:
