[Slirp] [ANNOUNCE] libslirp 4.1.0 is now available

Wed Dec 4 10:02:00 UTC 2019

Hi,

We are pleased to announce the availability of libslirp 4.1.0
release.

You can grab the tarball & read the changelog from the gitlab release page here:

    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/slirp/libslirp/releases

Highlights include:

 * new slirp_new() API, more flexible than slirp_init()
 * various new options needed for slirp4netns
 * tcp_emu() is now disabled by default. tcp_emu() is known to have
caused several CVEs, and not useful today in most cases. The feature
can be still enabled by setting SlirpConfig.enable_emu to true.
 * bug fixes & cleanups

Once the library installed, you may compile QEMU >= 4.0 with
--enable-slirp=system to link against it.

podman/slirp4netns should link with the system library soon

Thank you to everyone involved!
