[ANN] U-Boot v2025.10 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

So it's release day and so here is v2025.10. 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 once
again hoping for a few more people to read this than do my -rc emails or
just regular mailing list posts.  As I mentioned with the v2025.07
release, I was looking for a few people to step up and help with the
overall organization and management of the project. To that end, Peter
Robinson and Neil Armstrong have stepped up and have been helping me.
This has been part of the process for the project to join up under the
Software Freedom Conservancy's (SFC) umbrella and have a legal entity
that can help the project work with other legal entities on things like
donations. To that end, we'll have representatives from SFC on the next
call to answer any questions or concerns people might have.

With that said, we'll have our regularly
scheduled community meeting tomorrow.  The meeting details itself are:

October 7th, 2025. 9am (GMT -06:00)

A high level changelog from v2025.07 until now is:
- Updates to some of our python tooling, both the tools themselves and
  documentation / usability of them for some of the platform specific
  portions.
- Upstream device trees resynced with v6.16-dts tag.
- Lots of cleanups around implicit header inclusions. Out of tree boards
  might now fail to compile because they had gotten <env.h> or some
  other common headers implicitly included from something else for
  example.
- Our Kbuild infrastructure has been resynced with v5.1 of the Linux
  Kernel (and more is under development still).
- Improvements to numerous ARM platforms from TI (K3 and AM33xx),
  MediaTek, STM32, NXP i.MX, Renesas R-Car, Qualcomm (both Snapdragon
  and IQx families), Allwinner, AMD/Xilinx, Atmel, Marvell, Rockchip,
  SoCFPGA, Tegra, Samsung. If custodians want to follow-up and highlight
  specifics please do.
- Updates and some new RISC-V platforms as well.
- Standard boot now has RAUC support.
- The LMB rework that went in to the "next" branch near the begining of
  that window is now here.
- A large number of code correctness problems found by Smatch have been
  fixed.
- Both more and better documentation in a lot of places which is in our
  generated readthedocs output now.
- Improvements in both our legacy networking stack, lwIP support and
  areas shared by both stacks.

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 October 27th and then every other week for -rc tags until the
release of v2026.01 on January 5th, 2026.

Thanks all!
