Hey all, So it's release day and so here is v2025.07. I will be merging the next branch back to master shortly and pushing that out as well.
As this is a full release, and not just a release candidate I'm hoping for a few more people to read this and then read what I'm linking to as well. For the overall health of the project, and the community, I'm hoping to find a few people within the community that can help with overall organization and management. I would like to long term be able to move us to being under the Software Freedom Conservancy umbrella and that in turn means having a organizational structure that's not just a single person. I've put more details in the email here: https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20250602222738.GC100073@bill-the-cat/ Next up, I want to remind everyone that we'll have our regularly scheduled community meeting tomorrow. The meeting details itself are: https://meet.google.com/btj-wgcg-euw July 8th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://meet.google.com/tel/btj-wgcg-euw?pin=1307528552322&hs=1 A high level changelog from v2025.04 until now is: - Inspired by barebox "bthreads" we now have "uthreads". - We have exFAT support now. - General improvements, updates and new support in the following architectures / SoCs: Apple M1/2, i.MX8/9, sunxi, STM32, StarFive, TI K3, Rockchip RK3528 and RK3576 (and general improvements to older chips), MIPS Boston platforms, SoCFPGA, Atmel sama9x60 and sama5d2, Raspberry Pi, AMD/Xilinx (Versal, Versal Gen 2, ZynqMP), Marvell platforms, assorted Tegra platforms, Qualcomm platforms, Rensas R-Car and likely more I've missed. - Once again a number of improvements within the EFI loader subsytem - A number of cleanups and improvements in the networking, DFU, MMC, i2c, SCSI and other subsystems. Also a few series addressing more general code quality and cleanups. - Additional testing within CI on more (QEMU) platforms. And I'm sure there's things I've missed. With all of that said, we're on our usual cycle of 3 weeks for -rc1, which will be July 28th and then every other week for -rc tags until the release of v2025.10 on October 6th. Thanks all! -- Tom
