Hi,
qemu 5.1 is coming closer, with freeze in a week and release in August. See https://wiki.qemu.org/Planning/5.1
We'll need a new seabios release for qemu 5.1, and the options we have are:
(1) cherry-pick bugfixes (at least the cirrus vga fix, probably more) into 1.13-stable, tag a 1.13.1 stable release. (2) tag a 1.14 release from master branch.
Given we have several useful changes in the master branch which I would not consider being bugfixes a 1.14 released would be nice. Freeze in a week and release in three weeks should work fine with the qemu release schedule.
What do you think?
Hi Gerd,
if you happen to go with (1), could you please also include a fix for PIT? (floppy issue on isapc)
(2) would require to disable newly added CONFIG_ACPI_PARSE for 128k BIOS, otherwise it doesn't fit. I don't know what implications are to run without the option (but it worked fine for legacy guests).
Thanks, Roman
