Some good news! After many months of hard work by our users, code contributors, and a lot of patience assistance from our Apache Mentors, Apache NuttX (Incubating) 9.0.0-RC0 has been staged under [1].
While there were a lot of people who put serious work into the release I would like to personally thank Abdelatif Guettouche who really stepped up to get the release process moving. The release process is not the part of working on the project that most of us enjoy, but it is critical to sustaining and moving the project forward. I am confident that we can regain the cadence we took for granted in the past. This all said this is a RELEASE CANDIDATE which means there is more work to be done. Prior to calling for a vote we need help making sure this release is ready. Not only do we need help testing the functionality of the release, we also need to make sure we have properly prepared the release. The Apache requirements for approving a release can be found here [2] "Before voting +1 [P]PMC members are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on their own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases." A document to walk through some of this process has been published on our project wiki and can be found here [3]. I did try to walk through this document, but please comment if you find anything not clear.
