It is the first release +of skiboot 6.7 series, which becomes the new stable release following the +:ref:`skiboot-6.6` release, first released Wednesday April 22nd 2020. + +The main reason for this release is the addition of secure variable support and +the Mowgli platform. Aside from these feature, this release is largely bug-fixes. +However, this is expected since we're approaching the end of the P9 product cycle +and development has largely shifted towards enabling a future processor with a +difficult-to-guess name. + +.. _skiboot-6.7-new-features: + +New features +------------ + +- Secure Variable support + + The secure variable API provides the host operating system with space to + store cryptographic keys for OS secure boot. The security comes from the + requirement that all secure variable updates be cryptographically signed + so the keys used to verify the secure boot chain can only be updated by + a user authorized to do so. + +- Fleetwood platform support + + Support was added for the multi-node IBM Fleetwood systems. This support + was largely for internal IBM testing purposes and is not, and will not, ever + be offically supported. + +- Mowgli platform support + + Support was added for the Mowgli platform built by Wistron. |
