[ANN] U-Boot v2025.07 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

So it's release day and so here is v2025.07. I will be merging the next
branch back to master shortly and pushing that out as well.

As this is a full release, and not just a release candidate I'm hoping
for a few more people to read this and then read what I'm linking to as
well. For the overall health of the project, and the community, I'm
hoping to find a few people within the community that can help with
overall organization and management. I would like to long term be able
to move us to being under the Software Freedom Conservancy umbrella and
that in turn means having a organizational structure that's not just a
single person. I've put more details in the email here:
https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20250602222738.GC100073@bill-the-cat/

Next up, I want to remind everyone that we'll have our regularly
scheduled community meeting tomorrow.  The meeting details itself are:
https://meet.google.com/btj-wgcg-euw
July 8th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00)

A high level changelog from v2025.04 until now is:
- Inspired by barebox "bthreads" we now have "uthreads".
- We have exFAT support now.
- General improvements, updates and new support in the following
  architectures / SoCs: Apple M1/2, i.MX8/9, sunxi, STM32, StarFive, TI
  K3, Rockchip RK3528 and RK3576 (and general improvements to older
  chips), MIPS Boston platforms, SoCFPGA, Atmel sama9x60 and sama5d2,
  Raspberry Pi, AMD/Xilinx (Versal, Versal Gen 2, ZynqMP), Marvell
  platforms, assorted Tegra platforms, Qualcomm platforms, Rensas R-Car
  and likely more I've missed.
- Once again a number of improvements within the EFI loader subsytem
- A number of cleanups and improvements in the networking, DFU, MMC,
  i2c, SCSI and other subsystems. Also a few series addressing more
  general code quality and cleanups.
- Additional testing within CI on more (QEMU) platforms.

And I'm sure there's things I've missed.

With all of that said, we're on our usual cycle of 3 weeks for -rc1,
which will be July 28th and then every other week for -rc tags until the
release of v2025.10 on October 6th.

Thanks all!
