qemu-kvm-0.10.4 is now available. This is the first release of the 0.10 stable branch of qemu-kvm. The qemu-kvm 0.10.4 includes all of the features and fixes of qemu-0.10.4, plus adaptations for improved kvm support.

Note that qemu-kvm releases do not include the kvm external modules (kvm*.ko); you can use the modules provided by your distribution, modules from the development releases (kvm-xx), or from the kvm-kmod stable branch releases once they become available.

As this is the first release of this branch there is no changelog; qemu-kvm-0.10.4 is roughly equivalent (but is not identical) to qemu from kvm-84.

this's the plan? ie. the stable userspace will be about kvm-84? what's the plan for kvm-kmod release date and it's also be somewhere ~ 84?

AIUI it, the plan is:

- There will be stable releases of qemu-kvm in sync with qemu upstream releases - e.g. you can expect a qemu-kvm-0.11.0 release shortly after qemu-0.11.0 is released

- There will be no stable releases, as such, of the kernel module. You should use upstream linux releases instead - e.g. the latest stable release is 2.6.29.2

- The kvm-XX releases are development snapshots of the kvm.git and qemu-kvm.git code

For example, in Fedora, our plan is that we will ship the kvm.ko included in upstream linux releases and the qemu-kvm stable releases[1]. We may include qemu-kvm from kvm-XX releases during the development of the next Fedora release, but only as a preview of the next qemu-kvm stable release.

Cheers,
Mark.

and what's the plan for rhel-5.4? in this case latest stable kernel can't be used since 5.x series are always 2.6.18 based and if there is not a stable kvm-kmod branch then...?

Actually, I do plan to release kvm-kmod-2.6.30 (and kvm-kmod-2.6.30.x).
