From trini at konsulko.com Mon Apr 6 20:00:20 2026 From: trini at konsulko.com (Tom Rini) Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 12:00:20 -0600 Subject: [ANN] U-Boot v2026.04 released Message-ID: <20260406180020.GX41863@bill-the-cat> Hey all, It's time for the full release, and so here we are. I've tagged and pushed everything out. This is another release that feels like it's just good stable iterative progress on that last. The big change here is that we resynced out libfdt code and finally device trees must really be properly aligned. I am optimistic we have caught all the cases where this was not true. But if you upgrade from v2026.01 and suddenly fail to boot with little output, this is a very likely culprit. We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the calendar link is https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=MHYzYzQ1dWh2bnRjcm80czVmcDczYmhsNThfMjAyNjAxMjdUMTUwMDAwWiA4OWJlN2I4MTMxMzZiZWMwNmE4M2RlNGRhNTk3NDVmMGFiZDExYzFiODM2MDYxYWUwNmMxYzdkYmNkMThkZjQxQGc&tmsrc=89be7b813136bec06a83de4da59745f0abd11c1b836061ae06c1c7dbcd18df41%40group.calendar.google.com&scp=ALL and once again this is the same time as the previous meeting. The meeting details itself are: https://meet.google.com/icv-nvmv-dbf April 7th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00) To join by phone: https://tel.meet/icv-nvmv-dbf?pin=5493171900556 Condensing the changelog from the -rcs themselves: - Our dts/upstream trees are synced to the v6.18-dts tag. - As mentioned above, we've re-synced the libfdt code and now enforce and require proper 8-byte alignment for the start of the device tree. - Lots and lots of platform updates. Rather than call out what seems like most modern SoCs, I'll let custodians reply if there's anything specific they want to emphasize. - A number of bugfixes for problems found by Smatch and Coverity Scan. - We now support clang-format and prefer that over the old scripts/Lindent option for formatting code. - Numerous documentation updates. - Many subsystems have also had a number of updates, and I'll again leave it to the custodians to point out anything they'd like to here. - We now have "allyesconfig" supported in CI. This isn't quite how the Linux Kernel works (we do not assume 0 is a valid value for hex/int questions, by default) but it's catching more issues now that weren't before. The merge window is now open, I'll be merging next to master shortly, and we'll have our usual bi-weekly releases after -rc1 comes out in 3 weeks with the final release being on 06 July 2026.
