Further below, table of contents of changes.

Below, some changes.

{{{
 System emulation

Incompatible changes

   • The handling of the floppy device controller is different between
     <2.4 and >=2.4 machine types that use the Q35 chipset (e.g. ""-M
     pc-q35-2.3"" vs. ""-M pc-q35-2.4""). This can cause problems if you
     are defining floppy drives with command-line options such as
     ""-global isa-fdc.driveA=id.
   • The ARM 'virt' board default interface type has changed from IDE to
     virtio. This means that some incorrect command lines that we
     previously silently accepted will now fail with an error message
     like ""qemu-system-arm: -drive file=img.qcow2,id=foo: Drive 'foo' is
     already in use because it has been automatically connected to
     another device (did you need 'if=none' in the drive options?)"". As
     the error message suggests, you should add ""if=none"" to the -drive
     option to fix this.


 GUI

   • Support for OpenGL-based display rendering in the SDL2 and GTK+
     backend. This is preparatory work for 3D acceleration.
   • Improvements to the Cocoa front-end, fixing full-screen mode and
     adding a list of consoles to the View menu.
   • The two extra keys in Brazilian 107-key keyboards are now usable.


 Audio

   • Obsolete audio backends have been removed: esd (superseded by
     pulseaudio), winwave (superseded by dsound), fmod (not compatible
     with the GPL)
