+skiboot-5.9.4
+=============
+
+skiboot 5.9.4 was released on Wednesday November 29th, 2017. It replaces
+:ref:`skiboot-5.9.3` as the current stable release in the 5.9.x series.
+
+Over :ref:`skiboot-5.9.3`, we have one NPU2/NVLink2 fix that works around
+a potential glitch (the one :ref:`skiboot-5.9.3` would hard crash on rather
+than let a system continue to run until it mysteriously crashed later on).
+
+That fix is in two parts:
+
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Change phy_rx_clock_sel values to recover from a
+ potential glitch.
+
+- npu2: hw-procedures: Manipulate IOVALID during training
+
+ Ensure that the IOVALID bit for this brick is raised at the start of
+ link training, in the reset_ntl procedure.
+
+ Then, to protect us from a glitch when the PHY clock turns off or gets
+ chopped, lower IOVALID for the duration of the phy_reset and
+ phy_rx_dccal procedures.
