The "Oh, has FOSDEM started?" release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dear coreboot community,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
today marks the release of coreboot 4.3, the third release on our time
|
|
|
|
|
based release schedule. Since the last release, 1030 commits by 114
|
|
|
|
|
authors added a net total of 17500 lines to the source code. Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
to all who contributed!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The release tarballs are available at http://www.coreboot.org/releases/.
|
|
|
|
|
There's also a 4.3 tag and branch in the git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Besides the usual addition of new mainboards (14) and chipsets
|
|
|
|
|
(various), a big theme of the development since 4.2 was cleaning up the
|
|
|
|
|
code: 20 mainboards were removed that aren't on the market for years
|
|
|
|
|
(and even hard to get on Ebay). For several parts of the tree, we
|
|
|
|
|
established tighter controls, making errors out of what were warnings
|
|
|
|
|
(and cleaning up the code to match) and provided better tests for
|
|
|
|
|
various aspects of the tree, and in general tried to establish a more
|
|
|
|
|
consistent structure across the code base.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Besides that, we had various improvements across the tree, each
|
|
|
|
|
important when using the hardware, but to numerous for individual shout
|
|
|
|
|
outs. Martin compiled a list that's best posted verbatim. Thanks Martin!
