Hello everyone! :honeybee:

I am happy to announce that RIOT 2024.04 “UwUtastic” has been released! :tada:

Here are some of the highlights:

  • RIOT boots on two newly added boards:

  • The documentation features a new guide to help you set up a RIOT develpoment environment on Windows (#20426)

  • To accommodate the ever growing RAM sizes in the IoT, RIOT can now monitor your malloc usage (#20363)

  • Dependency modelling via Kconfig is no longer part of RIOT. A big step forward towards having only one source of truth for configurations (#20438)

210 pull requests, composed of 446 commits, have been merged since the last release, and 4 issues have been solved. 42 people contributed with code in 82 days. 2409 files have been touched with 26218 (+) insertions and 29933 deletions (-).

A big thanks to everyone who contributed! And special thanks to Maribu and MrKevinWeiss for helping me out! :gift_heart:

Cheers,

Teufelchen

Dear RIOTers!

There has been a mistake on our side while tagging the last release 2024.04: Instead of pointing to the release-tested branch, the tag was added to commit 59956f on the master branch. That means that some changes have been included in the tagged release without undergoing the release test specifications.

Since no bugs have been reported so far, we decided to leave the tag and not publish a point release from the release-branch, which would in fact mean a downgrade of features. The next release 2024.07 will be tagged towards the end of this month, officially containing the changes that already slipped in to 2024.04.

If you want to use the release-tested version of 2024.04, please checkout the 2024.04-branch instead of the tag.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused and promise to do better in the future.

Best, Mikolai
