This is an update to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-02/msg07558.html The following features have been deprecated for well over the 2 release cycle we promise ``-drive file=3Djson:{...{'driver':'file'}}`` (since 3.0) ``-vnc acl`` (since 4.0.0) ``-mon ...,control=3Dreadline,pretty=3Don|off`` (since 4.1) ``migrate_set_downtime`` and ``migrate_set_speed`` (since 2.8.0) ``query-named-block-nodes`` result ``encryption_key_missing`` (since 2.10.0) ``query-block`` result ``inserted.encryption_key_missing`` (since 2.10.0) ``migrate-set-cache-size`` and ``query-migrate-cache-size`` (since 2.11.0) ``query-named-block-nodes`` and ``query-block`` result dirty-bitmaps[i].sta= tus (since 4.0) ``query-cpus`` (since 2.12.0) ``query-cpus-fast`` ``arch`` output member (since 3.0.0) ``query-events`` (since 4.0) chardev client socket with ``wait`` option (since 4.0) ``acl_show``, ``acl_reset``, ``acl_policy``, ``acl_add``, ``acl_remove`` (s= ince 4.0.0) ``ide-drive`` (since 4.2) ``scsi-disk`` (since 4.2) AFAICT, libvirt has ceased to use all of these too. These patches all have reviews now, and I'll send a pull request tomorrow for soft freeze unless I hear from subsystem maintainers with any negative feedback. In v2: - Dropped -usbdevice removal, as that's spun off into separate debate - Fixed misplaced hunk in scsi-disk patch - Fixed non-default iotest jobs in dirty-bitmap code Daniel P.
