QEMU 10 Launches with Multi-Arch Improvements
QEMU, a popular open-source machine emulator and virtualizer, has just introduced its brand-new major 10 release (after a fourth release‑candidate cycle), bringing a range of noteworthy enhancements, deprecations, and removals.
QEMU’s maintainers continue their long‑running effort to prune rarely‑used subsystems. In light of this, version 10 deprecates the ancient -old-param Arm boot flag and puts the PXA2xx CPU family plus its iwMMXt DSP extension on a short leash—expect full removal in a future cycle. For most users, nothing breaks, yet the payoff is a leaner codebase and less confusion about platform support.
