[coreboot] [RFH] Draft release notes for coreboot 4.7

[Naveed Ghori]

Hi all,

Going forward would it be worth doing release notes progressively as bug fixes and features are added to the code. This may make the actual release process easier.
As I have not contributed to bug fixes/features this far I may be missing something (e.g. this is already happening)

My 2c.
Regards,
Naveed

Dear coreboot folks,


Martin said, that the missing/unwritten release notes are the reason holding up the coreboot 4.7 release.

Could the maintainers, developers, and users please jump in and help write them. Please use the pad [1]. Some coreboot folks already contributed. Big thank you to them.

Also, thanks to the now mostly great and elaborate commit messages, the release notes should really just give a broad overview. The detail can then be looked up.

Additionally, can you think of the something that has to be adapted by someone switching from coreboot 4.6 to coreboot 4.7?


Thanks,

Paul
