Upcoming release - coreboot 24.02

The 24.02 release is scheduled for Mid February, 2024

Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.

  • Please use Markdown.
  • See the past few release notes for the general format.
  • The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right before the release, so those do not need to be added.
  • Note that all changes before the release are done are marked upcoming. A final version of the notes are done after the release.

Release number format update

The previous release was the last to use the incrementing 4.xx release name scheme. For this and future releases, coreboot has switched to a Year.Month.Sub-version naming scheme. As such, the next release, scheduled for May of 2024 will be numbered 24.05, with the sub-version of 00 implied. If we need to do a fix or incremental release, we’ll append the values .01, .02 and so on to the initial release value.
