Emulator 27.2.1 is now available in the Canary channel for Windows, Mac, and Linux, bringing the fixes and enhancements from 27.2.0 to Windows.

Emulator hang fix
We addressed a major source of emulator hangs on Windows by fixing an issue in QEMU 2.9. If you are still experiencing emulator hangs, please file an issue to Issuetracker. We are actively investigating emulator hangs and are making this a priority.
Screen recording enhancement
Audio encoding for screen recording has been moved off of the QEMU main loop to a separate thread to increase reliability and performance.

Other changes:
  • Fixed a crash on saving recorded video from screen recording.
  • Fixed an issue in which the VirtualScene camera's controls could steal focus too frequently on Xfce, and the mouse pointer could flicker.
  • Telephone and SMS are now properly deactivated when airplane mode is on.
  • Mac: Emulator window now properly shows a drop shadow when frameless mode is disabled.
  • To address issues caused by not having enough free disk space for snapshots, the emulator now checks for sufficient free disk space on startup, and will not start unless at least 2 GB is free.
