10
11-  New variables:
12
13   -  :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`: Configure the maximum age of the
14      internal CVE database for incremental update (instead of a full
15      redownload).
16
17   -  :term:`RPMBUILD_EXTRA_PARAMS`: support extra user-defined fields without
18      crashing the RPM package creation.
19

24      image in the EFI System partition.
25
26   -  :term:`TARGET_DBGSRC_DIR`: specifies the target path to debug source files
27

36
37   -  Add Power8 tune to PowerPC architecture.
38
39   -  ``arch-armv9``: remove CRC and SVE tunes, since FEAT_CRC32 is now mandatory

83
84   -  `python3-rpds-py <https://pypi.org/project/rpds-py/>`__: Python bindings
85      to the Rust rpds crate, and a runtime dependency for ``python3-referencing``.
86
87   -  `python3-sphinxcontrib-jquery <https://pypi.org/project/sphinxcontrib-jquery/>`__:

147      configure kernel installation point(s) (i.e., rootfs and/or boot partition)
148
149   -  ``rawcopy``: add support for zstd decompression
150
151-  SDK-related improvements:
152
153   -  ``nativesdk``: let :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` be set by ``machine-sdk``
154      configuration files.
155
156   -  ``nativesdk``: prevent :term:`MACHINE_FEATURES` and :term:`DISTRO_FEATURES`
157      from being backfilled.
158
159   -  Support for ``riscv64`` as an SDK host architecture
160
161   -  Extend recipes to ``nativesdk``: ``acpica``, ``libpcap``, ``python3-setuptools-rust``
162
163-  Testing:
164
165   -  Move `patchtest` to the core (as ``scripts/patchtest``, test cases under
166      ``meta/lib/patchtest/tests``) and make a number of improvements to enable
167      it to validate patches submitted on the mailing list again. Additionally,
168      make it work with the original upstream version of
169      `Patchwork <http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/>`__.
170
171   -  Add an optional ``unimplemented-ptest`` QA warning to detect upstream
172      packages with tests, that do not use ptest.
173
174   -  ``testimage``: retrieve the ptests directory, especially for the logs,
175      upon ptest failure.
176
177   -  ``oeqa``, ``oe-selftest``: add test cases for Maturin (SDK and runtime).
178
179   -  Proof-of-concept of screenshot-based runtime UI test
180      (``meta/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/login.py``)
181
182   -  Enable ptests for ``python3-attrs``, ``python3-pyyaml``, ``xz``
183
184-  Utility script changes:
185
186   -  ``oe-init-build-env`` can generate a initial configuration (``.vscode``)
187      for VSCode and its "Yocto Project BitBake" extension.
188
189   -  The ``sstate-cache-management`` script has been rewritten in python for better performance and maintainability
190
191   -  ``bitbake-layers``: added an option to update the reference of repositories in layer setup
192
193-  BitBake improvements:
194
195   -  New ``inherit_defer`` statement which works as
196      :ref:`inherit <bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-metadata:\`\`inherit\`\` directive>`
197      does, except that it is only evaluated at the end of parsing
198      --- recommended where a conditional expression is used, e.g.::
199
200         inherit_defer ${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'python', 'python3targetconfig', '', d)}
201
202      This allows conditional expressions to be evaluated 'late' meaning changes
203      to the variable after the line is parsed will take effect - with inherit this
204      is not the case.
205
206   -  Add support for :term:`BB_LOADFACTOR_MAX`, so Bitbake can stop running
207      extra tasks if the system load is too high, especially in distributions
208      where ``/proc/pressure`` is disabled.
209
210   -  ``taskexp_ncurses``: add ncurses version of ``taskexp``, the dependency
211      explorer originally implemented with GTK.
212
213   -  Improve ``runqueue`` performance by adding a cache mechanism in
214      ``build_taskdepdata``.
215
216   -  ``bitbake.conf``: add ``runtimedir`` to represent the path to the runtime
217      state directory (i.e., ``/run``).
218
219   -  Allow to disable colored text output through the
220      `NO_OUTPUT <https://no-color.org/>`__ environment variable.
221
222   -  ``git-make-shallow`` script: add support for Git's ``safe.bareRepository=explicit``
223      configuration setting.
224
225   -  Hash equivalence gained a number of scalability improvements including:
226
227      -  Support for a wide range of database backends through `SQLAlchemy`
228
229      -  Support for hash equivalence server and client to communicate over websockets
230
231      -  Support for per-user permissions in the hashserver, and on the client side
232         specifying credentials via the environment or ``.netrc``
233
234      -  Add garbage collection to remove unused unihashes from the database.
235
236-  devtool improvements:
237
238   -  Introduce a new ``ide-sdk`` plugin to generate a configuration to use
239      the eSDK through an IDE.
240
241   -  Add ``--no-pypi`` option for Python projects that are not hosted on PyPI.
242
243   -  Add support for Git submodules.
244
245   -  ``ide``: ``vscode``: generate files from recipe sysroots and debug the
246      root filesystem in read-only mode to avoid confusion.
247
248   -  ``modify``: add support for multiple sources in :term:`SRC_URI`.
249
250   -  Support plugins within plugins.
251
252-  recipetool improvements:
253
254   - ``appendsrcfile(s)``: add a mode to update the recipe itself.
255
256   - ``appendsrcfile(s)``: add ``--dry-run`` mode.
257
258   - ``create``: add handler to create Go recipes.
259
260   - ``create``: improve identification of licenses.
261
262   - ``create``: add support for modern Python PEP-517 build systems including
263     hatchling, maturin, meson-python.
264
265   - ``create``: add PyPi support.
266
267   - ``create``: prefix created Python recipes with ``python3-``.
268
269-  Packaging changes:
270
271   -  ``package_rpm``: the RPM package compressor's mode can now be overriden.
272
273   -  ipk packaging (using ``opkg``) now uses ``zstd`` compression instead of
274      ``xz`` for better compression and performance.
275
276-  Security improvements:
277
278   -  Improve incremental CVE database download from NVD. Rejected CVEs are
279      removed, configuration is kept up-to-date. The age threshold for
280      incremental update can be configured with :term:`CVE_DB_INCR_UPDATE_AGE_THRES`
281      variable.
282
283-  Toaster Web UI improvements:
284
285   - Numerous bugfixes, and additional input validation
286
287   - Add `pytest` support and add/update test cases
288
289-  Prominent documentation updates:
290
291   -  Documentation for using the new ``devtool ide-sdk`` command and features.
292      See :ref:`using_devtool` for details.
293
294   -  New ":doc:`bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-ref-variables-context`"
295      section in the BitBake User Manual.
296
297   -  New ``make stylecheck`` command to run `Vale <https://vale.sh>`__,
298      to perform text style checks and comply with text writing standards in
299      the industry.
300
301   -  New ``make sphinx-lint`` command to run `sphinx-lint
302      <https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/sphinx-lint>`__. After customization,
303      this will allow us to enforce Sphinx syntax style choices.
304
305-  Miscellaneous changes:
306
307   -  Systemd's following :term:`PACKAGECONFIG` options were added:
308      ``cryptsetup-plugins``, ``no-ntp-fallback``, and ``p11kit``.

316      providing ``ukify`` tool to build UKI images.
317
318   -  systemd: split bash completion for ``udevadm`` in a new
319      ``udev-bash-completion`` package.
320
321   -  The :ref:`ref-classes-go-vendor` class was added to support offline builds
322      (i.e., vendoring). It can also handle modules from the same repository,
323      taking into account their versions.
324
325   -  Disable strace support of bluetooth by default.
326
327   -  ``openssh`` now has a systemd service: ``sshd.service``.
328
329   -  The :ref:`ref-classes-python_mesonpy` class was added (moved in from
330      ``meta-python``) to support Python package builds using the meson-python
331      PEP-517 build backend.
332
333   -  Support for unpacking ``.7z`` archives in :term:`SRC_URI` using ``p7zip``.
