Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or bug tracker.

This was another fairly big development cycle with close to 1300 changes all over the tree and 120 unique contributors! I'm once again very happy to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

Architecture

- Support for NDS32 removed
- Support for C-SKY removed
- Support for configurable page size on ARM64 added
- Architecture menu re-organized: the MMU selection now appears in this architecture menu.

Toolchain:

- GCC 12.x support added, GCC 11.x is now the default compiler, and support for building a GCC 9.x toolchain has been removed.
- glibc bumped to 2.35-134-gb6aade18a7e5719c942aa2da6cf3157aca993fa4
- uclibc bumped to 1.0.42
- BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO option removed, the toolchain is now always built with LTO support. The new option BR2_ENABLE_LTO enables the use of LTO in a subset of packages that have explicit handling for LTO.
- GDB enabled on OpenRISC.
- Toolchain menu now appears before "Build options". The selection of the C library now determines whether static library (BR2_STATIC_LIBS) will be available or not, instead of the other way around.

Filesystem:

- genimage.cfg files now use shortcuts from genimage for the GUID of well-known GPT partitions.

Bootloaders:

- U-Boot can now be built with host-gnutls as a dependency, needed for some configurations
- OP-TEE can now be built with host-python-pillow as a dependency, needed for some configurations.
- OP-TEE source can now be retrieved from a custom tarball URL.
- Grub has been bumped to 2.06.

The next release will be 2022.11. Expect the first release candidate at the beginning of November and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes until 2022.11 is out. For longer support, consider our long term support release (2022.02.x) instead, which will be supported until April 2023.

Bye, Peter Korsgaard
