Upcoming 1.11 release candidate

[Jeremy Kerr]

Hi all,

I'm planning for the next release of petitboot, v1.11, for sometime next
week, assuming all goes well. The shortlog is below, but this will
consist of the following series that have been on the list for a while:

 - Maxim's IPMI mbox selector fixes
 - my pb-console shell session fixes
 - my grub2 parser updates to better support RHEL8

These are currently in the petitboot master branch (at 057dce2dad), and
I encourage you to have a test / review of the proposed release.

Maxiwell: I've assumed that there's no specific target release for the
UV patches, is that the case?

Nayna: I also haven't yet heard back about testing the kexec file-load
patches, is there any urgency about getting those into a release?

Cheers,


Jeremy
