  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.
