New in this Release
-------------------

**Yocto**
^^^^^^^^^

* **Yocto Update**: Update to 5.0 (Scarthgap).
* **Switch to Qt6**: Switched from Qt5 to Qt6 since Qt5 is EOL.
* **Wayland GPU HW acceleration**: SGX GPU drivers now work correctly with Wayland EGL backend.

**Linux Kernel**
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* **Kernel Update**: Update to Linux v6.12.
* **ICSSM Support**: The AM57x ICSSM support is available again utilizing mainline drivers.
* **Switch to bang_bang governor**: Switched by default to BANG_BANG thermal governor `CONFIG_THERMAL_DEFAULT_GOV_BANG_BANG` instead of using downstream two_stage implementation. Drivers for two_stage governor have been removed.

**U-Boot Bootloader**
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* **Bootloader Update**: Update to U-Boot v2025.01

**Known Issues**
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The kernel config `CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME` is not set. Thus automated tests for PCIe with attached NVMe fail.
