Mint 13 LTS (Maya) 64 bit
QEMU is a virtual machine application that allows guest operating
systems to be virtualized under a Linux host using KVM or emulation.
QEMU 1.0 is an outdated version from Dec 1, 2011. QEMU 1.4.0 is the
latest version (released Feb 15, 2013) at the time of writing (Mar 4,
2013). There are many bug fixes and feature improvements between the
two versions, and QEMU 1.0 is unusable for many newer guest OSes. QEMU
1.0 is the newest release candidate for Mint 13 LTS in the default
repositories. All versions of Mint should receive updated versions of
QEMU as long as the Mint version is still under support, as Mint 13 is.
It would be difficult for most users to compile QEMU themselves because
there are many dependencies. Adding QEMU 1.4.0 to the repository would
make it very easy for users to begin using it, and it would benefit
anyone who uses QEMU. There is no PPA available for QEMU. The QEMU
developers advised me to file a bug report with the distribution vendor
about having QEMU 1.4.0 included in the default repositories.
