[ANN] U-Boot v2026.07-rc2 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

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

As I mentioned earlier today[1], I would like to again thank DENX (and
the Denk family) for supporting the project for so long, and we're
starting the process of moving our infrastructure to the OSU OSL lab and
the u-boot-project.org domain.

The delta between -rc1 and -rc2 looks OK to me, and I do still think
there's a few outstanding PRs to come in and a few things I should pick
up as well. But, the next branch is now open and so bigger changes
should target that and I will be applying a few things there shortly.

To repeat what I said in rc2 (and will keep repeatint) 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 Atmel, MediaTek, STM32, m68k, Renesas,
  QorIQ/Layerscape, MIPS and TI K3
- Fixes in our USB, UEFI, Documentation, and networking subsystems.
- Updates to our binman tooling

I continue to plan to do an rc release every two weeks and the final
release will be 06 July 2026.

Thanks all!
