Hey all, So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out and I will pull in the next branch shortly.
The big things to talk about right now are infrastructure updates. For the mailing lists, as I've mentioned before we have a test instance setup of moving mailman 2 over to lists.u-boot-project.org and are working on coordination of a final migration. This will mean turning off the lists on lists.denx.de, moving the data over, importing it, and then bringing lists.u-boot-project.org live. I will follow up when we have more details on when exactly this will be done. The next thing is gitlab on source.denx.de. We have a new gitlab instance up and being tested now, and I'll be reaching out to custodians to get them migrated over in the next day or two, and then we can put the old instance up in read-only mode shortly afterwards. For this part of the migration, I expect us to be able to complete that this month. As I've said throughout this cycle, after this release we'll be dropping support for building host tools under MSYS on Windows. Users are encouraged to instead make use of WSL to fill in this gap. If that's just not feasible, we're happy for someone to volunteer and resolve the problems we're having moving forward[1]. 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.
