Hey all,

It's release day, and here we are doing the release. It's live on git and FTP and ACD (along with the PGP sig file).

A few things I want to call out here. First, a bunch more NXP PowerPC boards have just been marked as Orphaned due to lack of valid maintainer email. So the one year until removal clock has started for them. This also marks the point where another batch of boards will hit the 1 year mark with the _next_ release and I'm inclined to say that what that means is that _this_ is the final release they will be in.

Second, logo! We've never officially had a logo and I've made some half-hearted attempts over the years to find someone to do one. Thanks to Alexander Graf and now Heinrich Schuchardt we have one in-progress and at: https://www.xypron.de/projects/u-boot/images/Circle-icons-submarine-orange-t...

Please provide any serious feedback on this, preferably in the current thread titled "Logo for U-Boot". I'd like to grab the new logo and use it for both conference things and for a default framebuffer logo (tools/logo/) for v2018.07-rc1.

Finally, SPDX tags. Now that the Linux Kernel is using them and has all of documentation, tooling and user expectations around it, we have switched over to that style formatting for tags. All existing files have been converted and for new files checkpatch has already been warning about them if they're in the wrong format. The only outstanding thing now is to adapt the kernel document about where/how/why to U-Boot, and since that is not a direct drop-in I didn't include it in this release but will instead be posting a patch in the next day or two to update our Licenses/README to reflect both style and include the longer reasoning, explanation, etc.

Thanks all!
