Hey all, So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out.
On the infrastructure side of things, as I noted with v2026.10, the archives can be found at: https://git.u-boot-project.org/u-boot/u-boot/-/releases/vRELEASE/downloads/u-boot-RELEASE.tar.bz2 and the .sig file as well. We can now add that we're also part of the OSU OSL mirroring system and https://u-boot.osuosl.org/u-boot-RELEASE.tar.bz2 (and .sig) also exist. The mirror contains all of the old U-Boot releases from the DENX FTP site as well. And if you need literal actual FTP, the above can be accessed that way as well. With that said, looking at outstanding patches, there are a few pull requests I am expecting to get this week as well as a few more I am just hopeful of. I think my own queue is in reasonable enough shape at the moment, but there are a number of things that are close enough that I might pull in before -rc2. We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=Njh0ZmkzajgyNnZtM3FvMmM1azkzOTAxdXJfMjAyNjEwMjdUMTUwMDAwWiA4OWJlN2I4MTMxMzZiZWMwNmE4M2RlNGRhNTk3NDVmMGFiZDExYzFiODM2MDYxYWUwNmMxYzdkYmNkMThkZjQxQGc&tmsrc=89be7b813136bec06a83de4da59745f0abd11c1b836061ae06c1c7dbcd18df41%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL and since this is -rc1 we've changed links. The time of day is the same. The meeting details itself are: October 26th, 2026. 9am (GMT -06:00) Video call link: https://meet.google.com/hir-pkrc-ngg Dial: (US) +1 636-707-2454 PIN: 996 784 524# More phone numbers: https://tel.meet/hir-pkrc-ngg?pin=1444832752708 In terms of a rough changelog: - Lots of platform updates. This is always the case with -rc1 and I never know which ones to emphasize. - Updated to the v7.3-dts tag for dts/upstream. - Fixes in our USB, GPIO, DFU, bootstd, i2c, SPI, video, pylibfdt, MMC, optee, watchdog, EFI loader, UFS, TPM and networking subsystems / drivers. - Resync some math headers with the linux kernel. - A number of cleanups and improvements to the mkimage tool, for handling FIT images. - Further work on merging the imagemap support that OpenWRT makes use of. I continue to plan to do an rc release every two weeks and the final release will be 04 January 2027. Thanks all! -- Tom
