<p>
<strong>The current stable release is quite old at this point. We're working on a new release,
and welcome everyone to get involved in testing for bugs in the <a href="#unstable">unstable releases</a>
which are up to date and usually updated at least once every week.</strong>
</p>
<p>
If you're more interested in libreboot development, go to the <a href="../git/">libreboot development page</a>, which
also includes links to the Git repositories. <strong>For a list of tasks remaining for the next stable release
of libreboot, see <a href="#tasks">#tasks</a>. Help is appreciated!</strong>
</p>
<h2>Do you have a mirror?</h2>
<p>
Let us know! We will add it here. Instructions for how to mirror libreboot
releases can be found <a href="../rsync/">here</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="https">HTTPS mirrors</h2>
<p>
These mirrors are recommended, since they use TLS (https://) encryption.
</p>
<?php
echo mirrorList($lbHttpsMirror, gettext("HTTPS mirrors not added yet."),0,count($lbHttpsMirror));
?>
<h2 id="http">HTTP mirrors</h2>
<p>
WARNING: these mirrors are non-HTTPS which means that they are unencrypted. Your traffic could be subject
to interference by adversaries. Make especially sure to check the GPG signatures, assuming
that you have the right key. Of course, you should do this anyway, even if
using HTTPS.
</p>
<?php
/* show HTTP mirrors */
echo mirrorList($lbHttpMirror, gettext("HTTP mirrors not added yet."),0,count($lbHttpMirror));
?>
<h2 id="ftp">FTP mirrors</h2>
<p>
WARNING: FTP is also unencrypted, like HTTP. The same risks are present.
</p>
<?php
/* show FTP mirrors */
echo mirrorList($lbFtpMirror,gettext("FTP mirrors not added yet."),0,count($lbFtpMirror));
?>
</div>
<div>
<h1 id="unstable">Download libreboot (unstable/beta releases)</h1>
<p style="font-size:120%">
<strong>WARNING: there is no guarantee that these releases will work. They may even render your system unusable (brick it).
Proceed with caution.</strong>
</p>
<p>
<a href="../beta/">Download the unstable releases here</a> (snapshot archives, with ROM images compiled).
This is useful if you want to help with testing for bugs/regressions before release, or if you just
want to run the latest version of libreboot compiled from the current git repository.
</p>
<p>
Over time, stable libreboot release cycles have become much slower, due to more boards being supported
and more work being done, which means a lot more testing/fixing needs to be done before each release.
Therefore, we now offer unstable releases in between stable releases.
These releases are updated fairly regularly, built from the latest version of libreboot
from the <a href="../git/">git repository</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="tasks">Work to do for the next stable release of libreboot (<a href="#tasks">#tasks</a>):</h2>
<p>
Go to the <a href="../git/">libreboot development page</a>, which
also includes links to the Git repositories. This shows how to submit patches.
</p>
<p>
Get in GNU. See <a href="../gnu/">../gnu/</a>. PaulK is working on the build system changes,
we still need to finish transitioning over to Texinfo for the documentation.
<strong>Becoming part of GNU is a #1 priority for the libreboot project.</strong>
</p>
<p>
Fix uneven backlight levels when turning brightness down on all thinkpads.
</p>
<p>
Fix broken suspend on GM45 thinkpads (regression in coreboot. Will require bisect. It works in libreboot 20150518).
</p>
<p>
Make sure that the KCMA-D8 and KGPE-D16 ports are stable. Make sure generally that all boards work properly and are stable.
</p>
<p>
Make sure that keyboard initialization works in GRUB on the X60/T60. This was an observed issue a while ago,
and might still exist in upstream coreboot. (USB keyboards work)
</p>
<h2>OPTIONAL (but very desirable) work to do before the next release of libreboot, if possible:</h2>
<p>
BARELY OPTIONAL (and extremely desirable): reproducible builds.
</p>
<p>
OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix broken text-mode graphics initialization on GM45 laptops
(framebuffer mode works. Lack of text-mode means that memtest86+ is not usable easily).
</p>
<p>
OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix screen compatibility issues on some GM45 thinkpads
(see <a href="http://libreboot.org/docs/hcl/gm45_lcd.html">this page</a>)
and some T60 laptops (see <a href="../docs/future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility,future/index.html#lcd_i945_incompatibility">this page</a>).
</p>
<p>
OPTIONAL (but desirable): fix VRAM size on X60/T60/Macbook2,1. This is a longstanding issue. It's currently only 8MiB,
but the hardware is capable of using 64MiB.
See <a href="../docs/future/index.html#i945_vram_size,future/index.html#i945_vram_size">this page</a>.
</p>
<p>
OPTIONAL (but desirable): re-write ich9gen/ich9deblob to be portable. It currently assumes endiannesses, uses bitfields, etc.
It's not portable at all, but works on x86 and little-endian ARM in most cases.
</p>
<p>
DUBIOUSLY OPTIONAL (actually probably required, and very desirable): Get more RK3288 and Tegra chromebooks supported.
PaulK is interested in this, and needs funding to get the hardware. PaulK's contact details can be
found in the <a href="../contrib/">contrib</a> page.
This could take months though, so probably won't be done before the next release.
