quickemu-project/quickemu

📦 Cross Architecture Support

• Architecture-aware filenames and output for downloaded images
• Per-distro architecture validation - quickget only lists architectures each OS actually supports
• `--check-all-arch` flag to test both amd64 and arm64 downloads for a given OS
• Correct architecture selection for Fedora and Ubuntu Server ISOs
• ARM64 support for Debian with proper edition validation

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Significant disk I/O and emulation performance enhancements:
• Improved qcow2 disk performance - enables TRIM/discard and detect-zeroes, reducing disk space usage and improving SSD longevity
• TCG translation cache tuning - larger cache with multithreaded TCG for faster emulation when KVM is unavailable
• Better disk I/O defaults - optimised cache and async I/O settings for improved throughput

📦 SPICE Improvements

• Enhanced SPICE display support, particularly beneficial for Windows guests:
• SPICE display reconnection - reconnect to running VM displays without restarting
• Local SPICE over Unix sockets - more secure, lower-latency connections when using VirGL
• These changes improve the remote desktop experience for Windows and Linux guests

📦 Display & Graphics

• GTK display backend preferred with automatic fallback to SDL if GTK is unavailable
• Simplified display device selection - removed redundant `-vga none` configuration
• OpenGL improvements - GL now disabled automatically when display backend is none, enabled on macOS (cocoa) with virtio GL preference

📦 macOS Guest Improvements

• Better display support - uses vmware-svga for improved macOS graphics compatibility
• TSC and timing fixes - proper TSC flag detection for AMD CPUs, vmware TSC enabled, unstable TSC warnings for macOS Ventura+ on AMD
• Sound card compatibility - selects correct sound card for macOS guests, prevents default sound card overriding compatible selection
• Serial port disabled by default for macOS and Windows
• OpenCore and OVMF downloads pinned to last-known-good commit for stability
• ACPI PCI hotplug disabled for macOS to prevent issues

✨ New OS Support

• Azure Linux 3.0 - Microsoft's container-optimised Linux distribution now available
• Ubuntu Desktop ARM64 - support for Ubuntu 25.10+ ARM64 desktop images

🐛 Distro Fixes

• Maintained up-to-date download support across the OS catalog:
• Zorin OS - updated download method and available editions
• Rocky Linux - restored dynamic release discovery, fixed 10.0 DVD ISO naming
• Parrot Security - updated releases and editions
• Garuda Linux - updated available editions
• MX Linux - fixed Xfce ISO naming
• Gentoo, Linux Mint, LMDE - switched to mirrors.kernel.org for reliability
• Artix Linux - fixed edition parsing
• + 5 more

📦 Infrastructure

• QEMU 6.1.0 minimum version now required
• Updated Nix flakes to nixos-unstable
• GitHub Actions artifact handling improvements
• Enhanced test-quickget CI with better sorting and summary formatting
• ShellCheck compliance improvements throughout
• macOS devshell improvements - removed brew dependencies, enabled EFI boot with patched OVMF paths
