"Looks good" from wiz@ and obache@.
ChangeLog for 0.13.0 is not updated but there is a list in announcement:
This release consists of over 2,500 commits from 145 contributors.
Some major features were added in this release including:
- vhost-net: kernel-accelerating network backend for virtio devices (using KVM)
- qmp: significant improvements covering most monitor commands
- vnc: introduction of new encodings that dramatically improve bandwidth
(part of GSoC project)
- ivshmem: new shared memory device allowing multiple guests to share
a memory region
- mips: introduction of fulong mini-pc
- virtio-9p: introduction of a paravirtual file system passthrough mechanism
- hpet: many enhancements
- target-s390: support for s390 usermode emulation
- many more features and bug fixes
A special note about QMP support in 0.13.0. QMP is still considered
experimental in 0.13.0. There are no plans to change the protocol
in an incompatible way but there are likely to be missing features.

Also add a patch for e1000.c NIC to make wm(4) work on NetBSD guest:
---
* Reset EEPROM internal state on CS rise edge,
not SK rise edge during CS is low, per CS pin description in
the FM93C06 EEPROM manual:
"... a rising edge on this signal is required to reset the
internal state-machine to accept a new cycle ..."
Intel's em driver seems to explicitly raise and lower SK output
after CS is negated in em_standby_eeprom() so many other OSes
that use Intel's driver don't have this problem, but I can't find
articles that say the MICROWIRE or EEPROM spec requires such sequence.
* It isn't a good idea to use memset(,0,) to clear EEPROM state values,
so explicitly clear status members and preserve the previous EECD values
---
This patch is also filed as upstream QEMU bugs #581737.
While here, several tweaks in Makefile to appease pkglint.
tap backend work on NetBSD (NetBSD uses an ioctl to get the tap name).
patch-ab: add support for the "select without ATN" to the emulated
esp device. NetBSD's esp(4) uses this command and aborts after a timeout.
While there fix the homepage URL.
Now NetBSD/sparc 5.0.1 boots and runs fine in qemu-system-sparc on a
NetBSD/amd64 host.
Bump pkgrevision.
Unknown why it was using this.
This closes PR 39571 and PR 37786.
Another suggestion is to use pkgsrc's MACHINE_ARCH.
(Not completely tested on DragonFly as this still doesn't build
due to wrong gcc.)
Also note this release is not the latest.
Emulate the speaker port's refresh clock bit. This is supposed
to toggle between 0 and 1<<4 every 15 microseconds. XXX: We use
gettimeofday() in the real machine instead of a monotonic clock
in the virtual machine, and we are a bit sloppy about the 15
microseconds. This should be good enough for crude loops that
measure approximate delays by counting how often this line toggles.

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve
good emulation speed, QEMU has two operating modes:
* Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system
(for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherals.
It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting
the PC or to debug system code.
* User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch
Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used
to launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation
and cross-debugging.

It's nice to see NetBSD/x86 running perfectly with QEMU!
