qemu (1:8.0+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=medium
Qemu upstream dropped support of the C-language virtiofsd daemon
implementation in version 8.0, so this package does not ship
virtiofsd anymore. A rust-language implementation is available
in a separate virtiofsd package.

qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-7) unstable; urgency=medium
Starting with this version of qemu-system-x86 on x86 architecture, xen
support is moved out to a separate package named qemu-system-xen. Xen
release since 4.16.1-1 already uses qemu binary from this package. In
order to support transition from old xen and xen-supporting qemu-system-x86
to separate xen build of qemu, the qemu-system-i386 binary is temporarily
replaced by a shell wrapper which detects xen usage and if found, redirects
the call to xen-enabled qemu binary if found (with a warning), or suggests
to install qemu-system-xen package. If you used qemu-system-x86 (or
qemu-system-x86-xen on Ubuntu) to run xen, please install qemu-system-xen.
qemu-system-x86 is not used by xen anymore since 4.16.1-1.

qemu (1:5.0-9) unstable; urgency=medium
With this version, kvm wrapper (initially from the separate kvm
package, which were later renamed to qemu-kvm) is merged back
to qemu-system-x86 package, replacing old qemu-kvm package.
'kvm' command name turned out to be very handy for manual
execution of qemu with kvm enabled, and we now rely on the
upstream behavor - when executable name ends with "kvm" it
enables the kvm mode by default if available, and falls back
to TCG if not.

qemu (1:2.12+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium
Since qemu 2.12, [G]UI display frontends can be built as modules.
Debian creates new package, qemu-system-gui, which currently
includes GTK3 support. This also switches display from SDL to GTK.
Qemu-system-* packages recommends installing qemu-system-gui, so
by default on upgrade you will have new package installed, and
local GUI will continue to work. However, if you choose to not
install recommended packages, you might consider installing
qemu-system-gui package separately, if you need local GUI support
as well. Without this package, qemu-system-* becomes "headless",
and can be used on servers to reduce amount of dependencies -
this way, no X11 stuff is needed by qemu-system anymore.

qemu (1:2.2+dfsg-6exp) unstable; urgency=medium
Since Debian release 2.2+dfsg-6exp, a new package named qemu-block-extra
has been created and some less frequently used block backends has been
split out of main qemu-system binaries and from qemu-img binary to
this new package. The backends which has been split are:
curl
iscsi
rbd (ceph/rados)
ssh
If you use any of these, please install qemu-block-extra package in
addition to qemu-system-* or qemu-utils package, because without it
these block backends won't work anymore.
-- Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:29:55 +0300
qemu (2.0.0+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
qemu-system-* packages does not provide /usr/bin/qemu alternative
anymore, and all various alternatives will be unregistered at new
individual qemu-system packages install. This is because different
architectures are not really alternatives, and never has been.
Historically, qemu emulated just one architecture, so the name "qemu"
was used for the binary. However when more architectures were added,
the old name "qemu" was used as an alternative, pointing to one of
the emulators. Upstream does not use the name "qemu" for binaries
for a long time. If you have scripts using the old name "qemu"
please update them to use the right qemu-system-* binary.

qemu (1.7.0+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low
Since version 1.7.0+dfsg-2, qemu-system-x86 switched from vgabios for
plex/bochs project to implementation of vgabios provided by seabios.
The latter is written almost entirely in C language so it is much easier
to debugu/develop, but it lacks some 16bit protected mode functions which
are present in vgabios. This means that it is possible that, for eaxample,
some protected-mode games written for MS-DOS may not work since this
release.
This also means that vgabios package isn't used by qemu anymore, and might
be removed from the system if there are no other users of it left.
/usr/bin/kvm shell wrapper has been moved back to qemu-kvm package (it was
moved to qemu-system-x86 in version 1.3.0+dfsg-2exp). Please note that we
do not re-install qemu-kvm package if it has been removed as obsolete, so
if you need /usr/bin/kvm wrapper please install qemu-kvm package again.
This change allows qemu-system-x86 package to co-exist with the old qemu-kvm
binary (not shell-wrapper) package from wheezy.
