Basically I want a release with the smbios3 changes.  Makes it a bit
simpler to do the finishing touches on the qemu side (most of the code
is already there, basically it'll be switching the default from smbios2
to smbios3).

I can live with an end of February target, can use a snapshot for qemu
then and update again to -final before qemu 7.0 releases.

On the other hand I don't see the benefits in waiting given that there
are no pending changes atm (other than the warning fix posted today).

take care,
  Gerd

It feels we just made a release.  Is there a timeline you'd like to
reach?  Otherwise, how about we target end of February for next
release.

I think all pending patches have been applied meanwhile.

1.15.0 was tagged/released already on December 2nd. 2021. Do you mean 1.16?

Actually, I meant delaying v1.15.0 until January.  But, releasing
v1.16.0 in early 2022 is fine too.

I went ahead and tagged v1.15.0 with the current code.  I'll look to
merge in the new changes next week.

You mean v1.16.0 I guess?

If we add a 2-3 week freeze after committing the patches the release
would be too late for qemu 6.2 anyway.

So tagging v1.15.0 now and plan for 1.16.0 in january (with smbios +
hotplug changes) looks good to me.

I took another look at those patches and they look fine to me.

I'm not sure what you'd prefer to do with the SeaBIOS release though.
We have a couple of high-level options:

1. Release v1.15.0 this week without these changes (tag 64f37cc5).

2. Commit the smbios 3 changes (and pcie-pci-bridge changes) and
   release v1.15.0 in early January.

I suppose we could commit the changes and try to make a release in
December, but that seems like it would dilute the meaning of a
"release".

What are your thoughts?

Latest version is at:

Rebased, but no functional changes in the smbios updates.

Yeah - if we're going to make a change now, I think we should wait a
few weeks before tagging a release.

It's been a while since I've looked at the smbios 3 patches - are
there any changes since then?

Damn.  Support for smbiod 3.0 fall completely through the cracks:

https://www.mail-archive.com/seabios@seabios.org/msg12438.html

The qemu-side changes have long been merged (except for flipping the
default to 3.0), but I didn't pay attention so the seabios patches
didn't got merged :(

I'd live to have them included in the new release, I suspect that
implies we have to extend the freeze and release in early december?

  Gerd

As long as is actually happens in November not December it should be
fine with the qemu release schedule.

It's fine with me.  A release in late November might be a little
easier for me.
