QEMU 1.4 Release ================
QEMU 1.4 was released on Feb 15, and is currently available in virt-preview and rawhide. Some highlights:
- block: dataplane for virtio, potentially large performance improvment - migration: threaded live migration - usb-tablet: usb 2.0 support, significantly lowering CPU usage - usb: improved support for pass-through of USB serial devices - virtio-net: added support supports multiqueue operation

Bug stats =========
Bug count on Feb 03 2013 : 264 Bug count on Mar 04 2013 : 247
Count went down mostly due to Fedora 16 going EOL, but numbers are still climbing pretty fast. I think we're overdue for another clean up pass.

No plans at this point. Right now there isn't anyone explicitly working on new virt-manager features, besides people popping up to scratch an itch.
When I've had time I've been working on the gtk3 port and virtinst merge, but even once that's done the first big feature I'll likely work on is snapshot support.
I'd love to get IPv6 support in virt-manager, so if anyone is interested in giving it a shot I'm happy to mentor.
Thanks, Cole
