The full list of changes are available at:

Highlights include:
- Support for memory hotplug on x86 guests
- Support for pinning memory on host NUMA nodes on x86 guests
- Basic hot-plug/hot-unplug support for x86 guests using Q35 machine-type
- Support for TCG-based system emulation on AArch64 (in addition KVM-based virtualization)
- AArch64 SHA and Crypto instruction support.
- Support for VFIO-based device passthrough on pSeries/PowerKVM guests
- Migration support for virtio-ccw on s390x guests
- Improved IOMMU emulation for SPARC guests
- Full support for USB3 passthrough (including streams).
- Multi-seat support for GTK+ and SDL 2.0 UIs, and lots of bug fixes.
- Dedicated threading model for virtio-blk, virtio-blk dataplane, now supports almost all features of the block layer including: image formats, POSIX AIO, I/O throttling, statistics and error recovery
- Fixes migration from QEMU 1.7 when certain bridge/CPU combinations are in use (see changelog for notes on migration incompatibilities between 2.0 and 2.1 for certain guest configuations), and new code/tools to detect migration issues
- And lots more...
Thank you to everyone involved!
Sincerely,
