[ANN] U-Boot v2026.07-rc5 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

So it's release day and I have tagged and pushed things out.

As I've said in the last few -rc emails, we're working with OSU OSL to
migrate our existing infrastructure. At this point I want to announce
that https://lists.u-boot-project.org/mailman/listinfo is up with a test
migration. Subscribers have been moved, archives are re-created. We
expect to announce a cut-over period this week. That will mean a short
pause in emails as we stop the current instance, archive and copy it
over, then start the new one. There's coordination to be done, and more
details will be provided once we know them.

Once again, the delta between -rc4 and -rc5 overall is fine, even if
diffstat says it's much larger. This is because we've pulled in a few
isolated but large changes.  If there are fixes people know to be
outstanding and haven't been applied yet, please reach out and let me
know. We are running out of time.

To repeat what I said in rc2 (and will keep repeating) is that it might
really be time to retire support for running our tools on Windows under
MSYS, rather than something like WSL. The move to support more modern
OpenSSL versions has hit a lack of support problem in MSYS[2].

We're continuing with a community meeting following the release and the
calendar link is

and once again this is the same time as the previous meeting. The
meeting details itself are:

In terms of a rough changelog:
- Platform fixes for Rockchip, Microchip, TI K3, Qualcomm, Renesas,
  i.MX and x86 Edison.
- Fixes in our documentation, EFI Loader and USB subsystems.

We now have one final RC, in two weeks time, before the final release on
06 July 2026.

Thanks all!
