v2024.03.0

Fri Mar 15 01:18:05 PDT 2024

Hi All,

I am happy to announce barebox-2024.03.0.

This release brings us runtime partitioning support. We have a new command
that allows us to create new partition tables and to manipulate existing
partition tables. Also the partition tables are now reparsed when
partitions have changed.
Marco has ported the SoC framework from Linux and started using it with
i.MX8M. Ahmad has put some effort into the XHCI driver which resulted in
several bugfixes so that hopefully more corner cases are handled in the
driver. Other than that the i.MX93 support has continued to evolve with
several small bugfixes and improvements.

As usual, see below for a full list of changes that went into this
release.

Have Fun!
 Sascha
