[Teufelchen1]

Hello everyone!

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

Here are some of the highlights:

• RIOT boots on two newly added boards:

  • The Nintendo Game Boy Advance (#19519)
  • Native on 64-bit Linux / x86_64 (#20315, #20335, #20339)

• 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)
