Hey all, So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out. Many, but not all, of the device tree alignment issues I mentioned for -rc1 have been resolved. The appended cases should be solved. The FIT image case for non-overlays should be solved. The FIT image case of overlays isn't solved yet. There's now two threads on this, and maybe it's one problem, or maybe it's two problems, it's too soon to say. But it's being worked on.
We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MHYzYzQ1dWh2bnRjcm80czVmcDczYmhsNThfMjAyNjAxMjdUMTUwMDAwWiA4OWJlN2I4MTMxMzZiZWMwNmE4M2RlNGRhNTk3NDVmMGFiZDExYzFiODM2MDYxYWUwNmMxYzdkYmNkMThkZjQxQGc&tmsrc=89be7b813136bec06a83de4da59745f0abd11c1b836061ae06c1c7dbcd18df41%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL and once again this is the same time as the previous meeting. The meeting details itself are: https://meet.google.com/icv-nvmv-dbf February 10th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://tel.meet/icv-nvmv-dbf?pin=5493171900556 In terms of a rough changelog: - Platform updates for Renesas R-Car, many NXP, MediaTek, various TI, STM32, m68k, Analog Devices, - Subsystem updates for documentation, EFI loader, NAND, networking (legacy and lwIP) I continue to plan to do an rc release every two weeks and the final release will be 06 April 2026.
