It is the +fourth (and hopefully final) release candidate of skiboot 5.4, which will +become the new stable release of skiboot following the 5.3 release, first +released August 2nd 2016. + +skiboot-5.4.0-rc4 contains all bug fixes as of :ref:`skiboot-5.3.7` +and :ref:`skiboot-5.1.18` (the currently maintained stable releases). + +For how the skiboot stable releases work, see :ref:`stable-rules` for details. + +Since this is a release candidate, it should *NOT* be put into production. + +With this release candidate, I'm hoping that it's the last one, and that within +the week we're able to tag a final 5.4.0 release. There is one bit of code I'm +hoping to merge in before the final 5.4.0, and that's the p8dtu platform +definition. The aim is for skiboot-5.4.x to be in op-build v1.13, which is due +by November 23rd 2016. + +Over :ref:`skiboot-5.4.0-rc3`, we have a few changes: + +- Add BMC platform to enable correct OEM IPMI commands + + An out of tree platform (p8dtu) uses a different IPMI OEM command + for IPMI_PARTIAL_ADD_ESEL. This exposed some assumptions about the BMC + implementation in our core code. + + Now, with platform.bmc, each platform can dictate (or detect) the BMC + that is present. We allow it to be set at runtime rather than purely + statically in struct platform as it's possible to have differing BMC + implementations on the one machine (e.g. AMI BMC or OpenBMC). + +- hw/ipmi-sensor: Fix setting of firmware progress sensor properly. + + On FSP systems, OPAL was incorrectly setting firmware status + on a sensor id "00" which doesn't exist. + +- pflash: remove stray d in from info message +- libflash/pflash: support whole chip erase on mtd access +- boot_test: fix typo in console message +- core/pci: Fix criteria in pci_cfg_reg_filter(), i.e. NVLink didn't work. + +- Remove KERNEL_COMMAND_LINE mention from config.h + + We removed the functionality but not the define. |
