The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release
of Linaro QEMU 2011.06.

Linaro QEMU 2011.06 is the latest monthly release of qemu-linaro.
Based off upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a number of ARM-focused
bug fixes and enhancements.

This release introduces two new features; these are still experimental
so please report any issues:
 - A model of the Gumstix Overo board; this is an OMAP3 based system
   similar to Beagle but with the advantage of having supported
   onboard ethernet.
 - USB keyboard and mouse support, if your kernel includes support for
   the OMAP3 OHCI controller (not just EHCI). Try adding
   "-device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse" to your QEMU command line for
   Beagle or Overo models.

Other interesting changes include:
 - A fix for the lack of graphics output on the Beagle model when
   running the Linaro 11.05 final release image
 - Suppression of the "Bad register 0x000000f8" warnings provoked by
   the Linaro 11.05 final release kernels
 - As usual, various minor correctness fixes and other upstream changes

Known issues:
 - The beagle and beaglexm models still do not support USB networking
 - There are some gcc 4.6 warnings about "variable set but not used"
   which have not yet been resolved; Ubuntu Oneiric's gcc makes these
   non-fatal, but if you're building with an upstream gcc 4.6 you may
   need to add the "--disable-werror" option to configure
