QEMU 4.1 has been released, it has become an important part of the open-source Linux virtualization stack.
QEMU 4.1 for the ARM, MIPS, POWER, s390, a variety of special-bit x86 architecture has brought many improvements, even as RISC-V also brings a number of important additional features. In the front end ARM, Cortex-M processors now supports the FPU analog, and add support ARMv8.5 RNG other bits. In the RISC-V, the support of Spike machine model, ISA 1.11 and support for CPU device tree topology. In the x86 front-end to support new Hygon Dhyana and Intel Snow Ridge CPU model and simulation of RdRand extended support.
QEMU 4.1 of rendering some of the new features include support for VirtIO GPU 2D / 3D, and may be downloaded to an external vhost user processes, as well as a variety of network and block device improvements, but support for Python 2 has been terminated.

QEMU is a pure software implementation of universal simulator and virtual machines, it has three modes, you can simulate almost any hardware device:
- Full-system emulation: can run any operating system on any supported hardware architecture
- User-mode emulation: run another Linux / BSD program
- Virtualization: near-native performance running KVM and Xen virtual machine
