From: Thomas Huth Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 12:10:34 +0000 (+0100) Subject: docs/about/deprecated: Mark HAXM in QEMU as deprecated X-Git-Tag: v8.0.0-rc0~81^2~11 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=90c167a1da;p=thirdparty%2Fqemu.git docs/about/deprecated: Mark HAXM in QEMU as deprecated The HAXM project has been retired (see https://github.com/intel/haxm#status), so we should mark the code in QEMU as deprecated (and finally remove it unless somebody else picks the project up again - which is quite unlikely since there are now whpx and hvf on these operating systems, too).
