This week's work centers on release pipeline modernization, desktop and userland refinements, and board and kernel platform maintenance. On the release and CI side, the build matrix gained codename parameterisation with Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" set as default, a dedicated Bianbu target, and exposed map overrides, while standard-support targets now include UEFI desktops and a plain cloud variant. The KDE fast-HDMI matrix was switched from kde-neon to kde-plasma, mesa-vpu was dropped from auto-attached extensions, and external CI now skips slots with a warning when upstream sources break. Supporting fixes route forky/loong64 base-files lookups to the main archive and add AI …

odroidxu4: fix the custom_kernel_config__hack_odroidxu4_firmware() for version hash @belegdol since you're the expert on xu4, is this even needed anymore?

Context: that "firmware copy for xu4" was mixed in the middle of kernel compile logic, and was extracted into a kernel config hook; kernel configs are hashed (for caching) and thus need to work even when kernel_work_dir is not set. The hash component has been added. JIRA: AR-1548 View the full article
