Hi everyone, As you may recall, coreboot has now gone to a quarterly release cadence. That means that it's now time for the 4.16 release, which will happen around the weekend of Feb 12.
If there's anything significant that you want to get in before the next release is done, please do that in the next week or so.
I'll be asking for people to test any boards that they have available after the release is done, but it'd be very useful to test them now, before the release so that anything that's broken can be fixed before the release is finalized.
Current stats since the 4.15 release: - Total Commits: 1266 - Average Commits per day: 15.09 - Total lines added: 302355 - Average lines added per commit: 238.83 - Total lines removed: 25937 - Total difference between added and removed: 276418
Static analysis: Our Coverity build has unfortunately been down for a bit as the build time went past its limit of 10 hours. The next build will run tonight, and the limit has been extended to allow for even longer build times.
In addition to Coverity, we also run LLVM's Scan-build tool on every platform several times a week. You can see that scan information for each platform at https://www.coreboot.org/scan-build/
Thanks! Martin
Hi All, This is the 1 week reminder that we're going to be doing a release around this coming weekend.
Please test any boards that you're working on. If you reply to this email, we'll make sure that the results of those tests are included in the release notes.
Also, please update the release notes with anything important that you want in them. Jason Glenesk and I will be going through the commits and noting anything that stands out to us, but we may not recognize everything. You can reply to this email or add a git commit with any updates.
Finally, we're changing the terminology we're using. No platforms are being "deprecated", and never has been. We've moved support for older platforms to branches, but they can continue to be developed there. There was discussion after the last release about what we wanted to move support for to a branch in 6 months, but I don't believe there was any specific decision.
If any mainboards or chip support is going to be moved to a branch, it needs to go into the release notes and be announced. Please post to the list and it will be discussed in the next coreboot leadership meeting, on wednesday.
Martin
