Branch 1.3.x is being prepared for release candidate

[Anastasia Klimchuk]

Good Day Flashrom community,

We’ve got good news about the upcoming release v1.3.
Branch 1.3.x is officially opened and being prepared for release
candidate. The branch has been fast-forwarded to head as of Friday
last week. We are now going through the list of what is critical to do
for the release and patching 1.3.x accordingly.
You can see the patches for 1.3.x by this link:
https://review.coreboot.org/q/project:flashrom+branch:1.3.x

The next step will be to put an RC1 tag for the branch (when ready for
that) and write another announcement.

If you know of any bugs, please report to us, and thank you! In any
case, bugs will be reported in the bugtracker. And then we can decide
what’s the urgency and whether the bug is blocking the release or not.

Meanwhile, development continues on master branch. Specifically, there
are few ongoing projects in various stages of development: all of that
continues. And hopefully, could be included in the next release.

Thanks everyone!
