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 next infrastructure change (and this is also a change from v2026.10-rc5, in small ways) is that our release archives are available at https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot/-/releases/<tag>/downloads/u-boot-<tag without leading v>.tar.bz2 which matches our historical naming scheme. And the release itself can be found at https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot/-/releases/<tag> so https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot/-/releases/v2026.10 for example this time. The change from the rc's to now is that the openwrt folks let me know I had gotten a few things wrong in the migration there, and I've corrected them over the weekend, and populated virtually all of the old releases. 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. The meeting details itself are: https://meet.google.com/yyx-dsaj-iwr October 6th, 2026. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://meet.google.com/tel/yyx-dsaj-iwr?pin=7760044274127&hs=1 In terms of a rough changelog for the whole release: - A number of platform updates and additions. - Almost all of our main subsystems had specific pull requests with important bug fixes or additions, mentioned in their respective merge commits. - A number of code cleanups and robustness improvements in both various commands as well as FIT image handling and verification. - A specific update here is that FIT images can authenticate a dm-verity roothash. - Another is a fix for the spurious ERROR messages when booting on some platforms, with respect to reserved memory areas. If you're still seeing this regression please reach out. I'll be releasing v2027.01-rc1 on Monday, October 26th 2026. Thanks all! -- Tom
