release v1.7.0 and timeline
by Anastasia Klimchuk Feb. 16, 2026

Feb. 16, 2026

Good day everyone, We are planning to release v1.7.0 by the beginning of March. The dates are planned as follows: 2nd February tag v1.7.0-rc1 and start testing and bugfixing, 2nd March tag v1.7.0 and release. In between 2nd Feb and 2nd Mar priority goes to testing and bugfixing. Any help with this is very very welcome and appreciated! https://flashrom.org/how_to_support_flashrom.html#building-and-testing All the patches that fix bugs or build issues will be merged. New features need to either get merged before 2nd Feb, or wait until after the v1.7.0 tag (2nd Mar). If you are in doubt whether your patch is a bugfix or a new feature, send a patch and we'll see. It is always fine to send a patch. Full document about release process is here: https://flashrom.org/dev_guide/release_process.html Most of the updates since the previous release are described here: https://flashrom.org/release_notes/devel.html This document has all updates by the end of 2025. Few most recent updates that have been merged since 2026 are not yet in the doc (will be added soon). I will post again when full release notes are ready. Another way to inspect all commits merged since the previous release is in GitHub UI: https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom/commits/main/?since=2025-07-25 -- Anastasia.
