Dear RIOTers,

We are delighted to announce the 38th official release of RIOT!

---------------------[ RIOT 2024.01 ]---------------------

The 2024.01 release includes:

  • Breaking change for board definition due to XFA for pointers to defined MTD. This means users will need to:
    • remove the MTD_NUMOF definition from board.h
    • add MTD_XFA_ADD(<mtd_dev>, <idx>); to the definition of <mtd_dev>.
    • MTD_0, MTD_1, … defines are no longer needed. Use mtd_dev_get(0), mtd_dev_get(1), … instead.
  • Many fixes to peripherals due to the periph testing shield
  • The AVR-8 now has power management
  • The ESP32 family is now supported by the SDMMC peripheral driver
  • native now is supported in pyterm
  • tests/periph/uart_locate_pins helps discover which pins are where
  • the periph_timer API supports periph_timer_query_freqs
  • The GNRC boarder router application supports ZEP topology
  • Removal of Kconfig dependency modelling (but still configurations supported)

194 pull requests, composed of 475 commits, have been merged since the last release, and 4 issues have been solved. 30 people contributed with code in 64 days. 1083 files have been touched with 36196 (+) insertions and 4976 deletions (-).
