Hey all,
It's release day and while we've once again had some last minute regression fixes, I feel things are as stable as they are likely to get so I've tagged and released v2019.07 and I would like to thank all of our contributor for their efforts.
I expect v2019.10 :-)
To repeat something I posted about in the previous -rc release, I've clarified on the http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CustodianGitTrees page that the "next" branch is expected to be rebased. Why? While I'm not sure if I want to apply things directly to the next branch and then give them some sort of automated testing, I do want to try and give changes some sort of build testing and similar sooner than I have, and that was at least a related problem.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2019.10-rc4..v2019.10 or git log --merges v2019.07..v2019.10
For this next release, one big concern I have but that I am hopeful we will be able to overcome is that we need to remove Python 2.7 support. Python 2.7 itself is end of lifed on January 1st, 2020. There's been a number of patches posted that get us a good part of the way there and I believe we can get the rest done before the deadline.
The merge window is once again open and I plan to tag -rc1 on October 28th, bi-weekly -rcs thereafter and final release on January 6th, 2020.
I am preparing pull request and I see that release has issue with sheevaplug board.
01: Prepare v2019.10 arm: + sheevaplug +u-boot.kwb exceeds file size limit: + limit: 524288 bytes + actual: 524632 bytes + excess: 344 bytes +make[1]: *** [u-boot.kwb] Error 1 +make[1]: *** Deleting file 'u-boot.kwb' +make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
There are also warnings about conversions to DM.
Is it OK to ignore these boards which should be likely removed?
Thanks, Michal
