Hi everybody,

This email starts the release process for coreboot 4.14, so we're now at
the "~2 weeks prior to release" step in our
https://doc.coreboot.org/releases/checklist.html

As usual, our releases don't denote any particular feature or stability
milestone, they only serve two purposes:
1. Avoid the impression that coreboot is dead - an idea that actually came
up before we started doing time-based releases
2. Provide anchor points that downstream coreboot users can use to base
their work against if they wish to do so

What everybody can do: Consider testing the devices you have against our
current master branch, send in board-status reports so boards are
known-good in https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html, report or,
even better, fix issues you encounter.

As a developer, please consider if your large scale tree change can wait
for after the release so that the tree can settle down a bit. But also, if
you have large changes that are waiting (such as toolchain updates), you
could already start to bring them in shape to merge after the release!

Also, please check out the release notes in Documentation/releases/
coreboot-4.14-relnotes.md to see if any notable work of the last 6 months
is missing there. Addition and deletion of mainboards and SoCs will be
added shortly before the release with script assistance, but everything
else won't be. Patches to extend our release notes are appreciated!

Thanks y'all for making coreboot what it is now. As a release manager I'll
merely put another label on it :-)


Best regards,
Patrick
