- https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.10
- https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.11
- https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12
- Some notable changes impacting Android Emulator:
- x86: gdbstub now provides access to SSE registers
- Disk images: Image locking is added and enabled by default. Multiple QEMU processes cannot write to the same image as long as the host supports OFD or posix locking, unless options are specified otherwise.
- qemu-img: "qemu-img resize" supports preallocation of the new parts of the image.
- QCOW2 shrinking supported in qemu and qemu-img.
- Because of reliability issues, the -read-only command-line flag is now only available if no instances of the same AVD have been started without the -read-only command-line flag.
