why the old qemu version? #7459

Open kasperk81 opened 2 weeks ago

kasperk81 commented 2 weeks ago

latest docker desktop (4.34.3) is packing qemu 8.1.5 which according to https://www.qemu.org/download/ Image

is not the latest version. why not 'always' package the latest available release version of qemu? it's not like old version doesn't have bugs, but likelihood of someone reporting those bugs, getting them fixed upstream are high. so it's always a good idea to package the latest version and point people to report qemu bugs in their gitlab repo issue tracker. right now, we need to wait additional months for docker to package the latest version feels a bit off. :(

if it is intentional, please review your decision because people are anyway upgrading/downgrading docker desktop to find the qemu version which works for them due to various bugs so whatever reservations there are to delay the qemu upgrade needs to be reconsidered based on the past X releases and 'qemu' related issues reported in this repo alone..

same with the latest version

% docker version --format '{{.Server.Platform.Name}}' && \
    docker run --rm --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i qemu-x86_64 --version

Docker Desktop 4.35.1 (173168)
qemu-x86_64 version 8.1.5 (v8.1.5)

please add qemu (and other emulators) version info to docker version or docker info to save users from complex workarounds to find it.
