Hey all, So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out. Looking at my own queue, I think it's in reasonable shape. I do know we just had a regression reported on some TI K3 platforms today and that will need to be fixed, and I am also expecting a few more PRs soon.
We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=ZGNsNTh2YWQ2YTB0ajAzZXRkdDVhdjFuNmpfMjAyNTEwMjhUMTUwMDAwWiA4OWJlN2I4MTMxMzZiZWMwNmE4M2RlNGRhNTk3NDVmMGFiZDExYzFiODM2MDYxYWUwNmMxYzdkYmNkMThkZjQxQGc&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/btj-wgcg-euw October 28th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://meet.google.com/tel/btj-wgcg-euw?pin=1307528552322&hs=1 In terms of a rough changelog: - We're on v6.17-dts for upstream device trees/bindings. The v6.18-dts tag will be too late for our release cycle so I expect people to be using the cherry-pick method to bring in dts changes as needed. - Lots of platform updates. This is always the case with -rc1 and I never know which ones to emphasize. - That said, we've removed ATAGS support from some platforms as it's very legacy these days. - Lots of fixing of issues reported by Smatch. - We now support clang-format and prefer that over the old scripts/Lindent option for formatting code. - Continued work on improving our old pre-rST docs and converting them to rST. - Fixes in our DFU, MMC, PMIC, USB, UBI, SCMI, UEFI and networking subsystems. - Some cleanups and improvements to Falcon mode, with the aim of being able to support this feature in secure boot contexts. - More patches required for "allyesconfig" to build have been merged, but some are still outstanding. I continue to plan to do an rc release every two weeks and the final release will be 05 January 2026. Thanks all! -- Tom
