QEMU 8.2 Released with Virtio-Sound Device, RISC-V KVM AIA Support
Highlights of QEMU 8.2 include a new virtio-sound device that allows for audio capture and playback from inside a guest machine using the configured audio backend of the host machine, and a new virtio-gpu rutabaga device that allows various abstractions of GPU and display virtualization.
This release also adds ati-vga pixman-less support, adds the ability to migrate virtio-gpu blob=true VM, adds a new zoom-to-fit display option to the GUI, adds support for the “rom” parameter to memory-backend-file, and implements a new “avail-switchover-bandwidth” migration parameter.
