Deprecation notice

In mid-2019, the QEMU binaries were moved from the GNU MCU Eclipse project to the xPack project. The new home page is:

https://xpack.github.io/qemu-arm/

All previous releases are still available in the @gnu-mcu-eclipse scope, but were deprecated and are not recommended for new projects. ___

Entries in this file are in reverse chronological order.
