Hi,
It's been a while since the last release, we have some nice but unreleased bits in the master branch (tpm and nvme improvements for example), time for a new release I think.
How about freeze in a week, release by roughly mid-november?
take care, Gerd

It's fine with me. A release in late November might be a little easier for me.

As long as is actually happens in November not December it should be fine with the qemu release schedule.

Damn. Support for smbiod 3.0 fall completely through the cracks:
https://www.mail-archive.com/seabios@seabios.org/msg12438.html
The qemu-side changes have long been merged (except for flipping the default to 3.0), but I didn't pay attention so the seabios patches didn't got merged :(
I'd live to have them included in the new release, I suspect that implies we have to extend the freeze and release in early december?
take care, Gerd

Yeah - if we're going to make a change now, I think we should wait a few weeks before tagging a release.
It's been a while since I've looked at the smbios 3 patches - are there any changes since then?

Latest version is at: https://gitlab.com/ehabkost/seabios/-/commits/work/smbios-3.0/
Rebased, but no functional changes in the smbios updates.

I took another look at those patches and they look fine to me.
I'm not sure what you'd prefer to do with the SeaBIOS release though. We have a couple of high-level options:
1. Release v1.15.0 this week without these changes (tag 64f37cc5).
2. Commit the smbios 3 changes (and pcie-pci-bridge changes) and release v1.15.0 in early January.
I suppose we could commit the changes and try to make a release in December, but that seems like it would dilute the meaning of a "release".
What are your thoughts?
Cheers, -Kevin

You mean v1.16.0 I guess?

If we add a 2-3 week freeze after committing the patches the release would be too late for qemu 6.2 anyway.
What are your thoughts?
So tagging v1.15.0 now and plan for 1.16.0 in january (with smbios + hotplug changes) looks good to me.
take care, Gerd

Actually, I meant delaying v1.15.0 until January. But, releasing v1.16.0 in early 2022 is fine too.
I went ahead and tagged v1.15.0 with the current code. I'll look to merge in the new changes next week.

Hi,
- Commit the smbios 3 changes (and pcie-pci-bridge changes) and release v1.15.0 in early January.
I think all pending patches have been applied meanwhile. So time to enter 1.15 freeze and release in ~2 weeks?
take care, Gerd

1.15.0 was tagged/released already on December 2nd. 2021. Do you mean 1.16?
Kind regards,
Paul

It feels we just made a release. Is there a timeline you'd like to reach? Otherwise, how about we target end of February for next release.

Basically I want a release with the smbios3 changes. Makes it a bit simpler to do the finishing touches on the qemu side (most of the code is already there, basically it'll be switching the default from smbios2 to smbios3).
I can live with an end of February target, can use a snapshot for qemu then and update again to -final before qemu 7.0 releases.
On the other hand I don't see the benefits in waiting given that there are no pending changes atm (other than the warning fix posted today).
take care, Gerd
