+==============
+
+skiboot 5.10.7 was released on Friday March 21st, 2019. It replaces
+:ref:`skiboot-5.10.6` as the current stable release in the 5.10.x series.
+
+It is expected that this will be the final 5.10.x version, with 6.2.x taking
+over as the main stable branch.
+
+Over :ref:`skiboot-5.10.6`, we have the following fixes:
+
+- libffs: Fix string truncation gcc warning.
+
+  Use memcpy as other libffs functions do.
+
+- hdata/i2c.c: fix building with gcc8
+
+  hdata/test/../i2c.c:200:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct host_i2c_hdr’ is less than 4 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned]
+     } __packed;
+     ^
+
+- opal-prd: Fix opal-prd crash
+
+  Presently callback function from HBRT uses r11 to point to target function
+  pointer. r12 is garbage. This works fine when we compile with "-no-pie" option
+  (as we don't use r12 to calculate TOC).
+
+  As per ABIv2 : "r12 : Function entry address at global entry point"
+
+  With "-pie" compilation option, we have to set r12 to point to global function
+  entry point. So that we can calculate TOC properly.
+
+  Crash log without this patch:
+    opal-prd[2864]: unhandled signal 11 at 0000000000029320 nip 00000 00102012830 lr 0000000102016890 code 1
