Hi, I'm pleased to announce the first release candidate of the upcoming OpenOCD version. The source archives are available from the usual SF download locations.
From now on we're entering a feature freeze stage aimed at producing a
quality release as soon as possible. That means that everyone is
encouraged to pay specific attention to:
1. Build issues;
2. Regressions;
3. Segfaults;
4. Other major bugs.
This doesn't mean one shouldn't send new patches to Gerrit or review
some new functionality, but it means that merging such work will
likely be postponed until the final release is ready.
Please post all your feedback to the openocd-devel mailing list. It
would be nice to hear package maintainers from various distros and
package repositories as we sincerely want to make their lives easier
and their users happier.
The RC1 phase might end up being as short as 2 weeks if everything
goes well; after that either another RC will be announced or a final
release will get tagged.
