Hey all, So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out.
First up, we should revisit things I mentioned in the -rc1 release. The mailing list migration had a few more hiccups after, but we should, hopefully, be set. That said, I do see one more issue that I've raised, which is that I believe due to how DMARC works, some patches authors are being rewritten not in patchwork, but in lore (patchwork has a fixup in place). I'm keeping an eye on pull requests and will do more fixups as needed, until we have things done. But that means good news, lore.kernel.org has caught up with the move and the backlog and I don't see anything missing. And, the move of our Gitlab instance to https://git.u-boot-project.org/ has been stable. If people need access and have not yet gotten an account, please do so soon. So, the git tag has been pushed to https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot and the release itself is also under https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot/-/releases/ At this point, the next branch is now also open. We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=Z2IwbHR2NjZhMzZkOThqNHJoc2sxZG04MzJfMjAyNjA3MjhUMTUwMDAwWiA4OWJlN2I4MTMxMzZiZWMwNmE4M2RlNGRhNTk3NDVmMGFiZDExYzFiODM2MDYxYWUwNmMxYzdkYmNkMThkZjQxQGc&tmsrc=89be7b813136bec06a83de4da59745f0abd11c1b836061ae06c1c7dbcd18df41%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL and once again this is the same time as the previous meeting.
