Day 1 Keynote Sessions
summary
Charter expands virtio scope to cover hardware passthrough and nested setups and formally registers device‑IDs and feature bits with a compatibility guarantee and 12–16 month version cadence. Contributions and organizations hit record growth; major spec additions include virtio sound (audio in/out for automotive), virtio memory replacing balloon by adding host memory to guests, GPIO, SCMI, free‑page hinting, UDP segmentation and hash reporting, GPU resource export, and async notification queues. QEMU shows 445 active devs, three releases/year, SEV encrypted guest support, full emulated NVMe, split JIT buffers for TCG, multi‑process device emulation, GitLab migration and ~10k new documentation lines.
