** [tickets:#277] No release since 3 years after 0.10.0 hampers collaboration
with other projects**
**Status:** new
**Milestone:** 0.9.0

Hello,
I tried to update the handling of OpenOCD in RIOT-OS to the current version,
with regard of the ST-link adapter handling. However, this update can't be
taken into account at this moment. Because the current official release is so
old. It's not possible for RIOT (or other projects) to accomodate all versions
on the supported platforms.
OpenOCD hasn't issued an official release since 2017, different projects bundle
different versions of OpenOCD nowadays. Debian has only started OpenOCD
snapshots since May 2020. Which contains the updated ST-Link handling that
isn't in 0.10.0. See the issue I submitted to below.
The absence of an official release means that versions incorporated in
distributions get out of sync. So it remains hard to implement updates that
take care of all the versions out in the wild. Even downloading the latest
release of OpenOCD on the website points to version 0.10.0. Which puts people
on the wrong footing.
Also the whole feature set of OpenOCD has undergone significant updates since
the latest release.
Although a new release might incur quite some effort, it would make life a lot
easier for downstream projects.
The Issue for RIOT-OS I submitted.
