2022-06-03ui: Remove deprecated options "-sdl" and "-curses"Thomas Huth
We have "-sdl" and "-curses", but no "-gtk" and no "-cocoa" ... these old-style options are rather confusing than helpful nowadays. Now that the deprecation period is over, let's remove them, so we get a cleaner interface (where "-display" is the only way to select the user interface).

2022-06-03ui: Remove deprecated parameters of the "-display sdl" optionThomas Huth
Dropping these deprecated parameters simplifies further refactoring (e.g. QAPIfication is easier without underscores in the name).

2022-05-14introduce -audio as a replacement for -soundhwPaolo Bonzini
-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as -soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding the audiodev to the codec device. In the future, it could be extended to support default models or builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now, keep it simple.

2022-05-14rng: make opened property read-onlyPaolo Bonzini
The ``opened=on`` option in the command line or QMP ``object-add`` either had no effect (if ``opened`` was the last option) or caused errors. The property is therefore useless and was deprecated in 6.0; make it read-only now. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2022-05-14crypto: make loaded property read-onlyPaolo Bonzini
The ``loaded=on`` option in the command line or QMP ``object-add`` either had no effect (if ``loaded`` was the last option) or caused options to be effectively ignored as if they were not given. The property is therefore useless and was deprecated in 6.0; make it read-only now. The patch is best reviewed with "-b". Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2022-05-14i386/cpu: Remove the deprecated cpu model 'Icelake-Client'Robert Hoo
Icelake, is the codename for Intel 3rd generation Xeon Scalable server processors. There isn't ever client variants. This "Icelake-Client" CPU model was added wrongly and imaginarily. It has been deprecated since v5.2, now it's time to remove it completely from code.

2022-04-28remove -writeconfigPaolo Bonzini
Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts. However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration by hand in the first place. In addition, -writeconfig does not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping. Just remove it. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20220414145721.326866-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2021-08-25docs/about: Unify the subject formatYanan Wang
There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z" in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to standardize on. So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".
