Another of her Cloud Hypervisor PRs was just merged[2], so I'm hoping generic vhost-user will be quite soon too, and then we'll be able to start easily adopting more device types in Spectrum, starting with virtio-sound. She also submitted a few small Spectrum improvements[3][4][5][6].

It now handles multiple physical interfaces per driver VM, which will be important if we want to use both of them and they're in the same IOMMU group.

I also fixed a = few Spectrum bugs =E2=80=94 a couple of compatibility fixes for applications, a= nd a harmless error during the build. I've been at WHY2025 this week too, and having some good conversations about future opportunities for Spectrum. I'll be here until Wednesday morning =E2=80=94 if you are too and would like to talk about Spectrum, or get a sticker, DECT QYLS. :) --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYKAB0WIQRV/neXydHjZma5XLJbRZGEIw/wogUCaJmozwAKCRBbRZGEIw/w oqYeAP9eM4bkvsljHqyRy9qr5fzmHQmKRMURUssuKxj4puJWygEAtJQMvh8bDRQ1 B/9GunDOnzySYeVgGXANA9WJSVfa9QA= =JAHE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
