Bluetooth
*********
* Audio
* Changed ``bt_bap_scan_delegator_subgroup`` to :c:struct:`bt_bap_bass_subgroup` and
made it independent of :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_BAP_SCAN_DELEGATOR`.
* Modified :c:func:`bt_bap_stream_send` to no longer take a timestamp as parameter,
and added :c:func:`bt_bap_stream_send_ts` that does.
* Modified :c:func:`bt_cap_stream_send` to no longer take a timestamp as parameter,
and added :c:func:`bt_cap_stream_send_ts` that does.
* Assigned number values have been moved from :file:`include/zephyr/bluetooth/audio/lc3.h` to
:file:`include/zephyr/bluetooth/audio/audio.h` and the ``LC3`` infix have been removed.

so that Zephyr supports all BASEs regardless of the size.
* Host
* Added ``recycled()`` callback to :c:struct:`bt_conn_cb`, which notifies listeners when a
connection object has been freed, so it can be utilized for different purposes. No guarantees
are made to what listener will be granted the object, as only the first claim is served.
* Modified :c:func:`bt_iso_chan_send` to no longer take a timestamp as parameter,
and added :c:func:`bt_iso_chan_send_ts` that does.

Build system and infrastructure
*******************************
* Added functionality for Link Time Optimization.
This change includes interrupt script generator rebuilding and adds the
following Kconfig options:
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ISR_TABLES_LOCAL_DECLARATION`:
LTO compatible interrupt tables parser
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LTO`: Enable Link Time Optimization
Currently the LTO compatible interrupt tables parser is only supported by ARM architectures and
GCC compiler/linker.
See pull request :github:`66392` for details.
* Dropped the ``COMPAT_INCLUDES`` option. It was unused since Zephyr v3.0.
* Fixed an issue whereby board revision ``0`` did not include overlay files for that revision.
* Added ``PRE_IMAGE_CMAKE`` and ``POST_IMAGE_CMAKE`` hooks to sysbuild modules, which allows for
modules to run code after and before each image's cmake invocation.
* Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ROM_END_OFFSET` option which allows reducing the size of an image.
This is intended for use with firmware signing scripts which add additional data to the end of
images outside of the build itself.
* Added MCUboot image size reduction to sysbuild images which include MCUboot. This prevents
issues with building firmware images that are too large for MCUboot to swap.
* Deprecated :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SRAM_SIZE`. Users of this should transition to
having RAM set up properly in their board devicetree files.
* Fixed an issue whereby shields were processed in order of the root they resided in rather than
the order they were supplied to cmake in.
* Fixed an issue whereby using some shields with sysbuild would cause a cmake Kconfig error.
* Fixed an issue where the macros ``_POSIX_C_SOURCE`` and ``_XOPEN_SOURCE`` would be defined
globally when building with Picolibc or for the native (``ARCH_POSIX``) targets.
After this change users may need to define them for their own applications or libraries.
* Added support for sysbuild setting a signing script (``SIGNING_SCRIPT``). See
:ref:`west-extending-signing` for details.
* Added support for ``FILE_SUFFIX`` in the build system which allows for adding suffixes to
application Kconfig fragment file names and devicetree overlay file names. See
:ref:`application-file-suffixes` and :ref:`sysbuild_file_suffixes` for details.
* Deprecated ``CONF_FILE`` ``prj_<build>.conf`` build type.
* Added `-Wdouble-promotion` as a default warning when compiling to warn developers with
single-precision floats easily being promoted to double-precision.

* Added a driver :file:`drivers/ethernet/eth_nxp_enet.c` for NXP ENET which is a rework of
the old driver :file:`drivers/ethernet/eth_mcux.c`. The old driver became
unmaintainable due to fundamental problems with the lack of PHY abstraction. The new driver
is still experimental and requires maturation. Eventually the old driver will be deprecated
and this new driver will be supported instead.
* Flash
* Redesigned the Atmel SAM controller to fully utilize flash page layout.
* ``spi_nor`` driver now sleeps between polls in ``spi_nor_wait_until_ready``. If this is not

The GNSS subsystem and device drivers are based on the :ref:`modem` subsystem,
using the ``modem_pipe`` module, modem backends, and ``modem_chat`` module to
communicate with the modems. For systems which already contain a cellular modem,
adding a GNSS modem is very efficient due to the reuse of subsystems.
* Added GNSS-specific, safe, string-to-integer parsing utilities, enabled by
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_GNSS_PARSE`.
* Added NMEA0183 parsing utilities, enabled by
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_GNSS_NMEA0183`.

address to be reserved. This requires a new function argument to
:c:func:`i3c_addr_slots_next_free_find`.
* Added a field named ``num_xfer`` in :c:struct:`i3c_msg` and
:c:struct:`i3c_ccc_taget_payload` as an output to indicate the actual
number of bytes transferred.
* Cadence I3C driver (:file:`drivers/i3c/i3c_cdns.c`):
* Added support to handle controller abort where the target does not emit
end of data for register read but continues sending data.
* Updated the timeout calculation to be coupled with CPU speed instead of
a fixed number of retries.

Libraries / Subsystems
**********************
* Management
* Fixed an issue in MCUmgr image management whereby erasing an already erased slot would return
an unknown error. It now returns success.
* Fixed MCUmgr UDP transport structs being statically initialised. This results in about a
~5KiB flash saving.
* Fixed an issue in MCUmgr which would cause a user data buffer overflow if the UDP transport was
enabled on IPv4 only but IPv6 support was enabled in the kernel.
* Implemented datetime functionality in MCUmgr OS management group. This makes use of the RTC
driver API.
* Fixed an issue in MCUmgr console UART input whereby the FIFO would be read outside of an ISR,
which is not supported in the next USB stack.
* Fixed an issue whereby the ``mcuboot erase`` DFU shell command could be used to erase the
MCUboot or currently running application slot.
* Fixed an issue whereby messages that were too large to be sent over the UDP transport would
wrongly return :c:enumerator:`MGMT_ERR_EINVAL` instead of :c:enumerator:`MGMT_ERR_EMSGSIZE`.
* Fixed an issue where confirming an image in Direct XIP mode would always confirm the image in
the primary slot even when executing from the secondary slot. Now the currently active image is
always confirmed.
* Added support for retrieving registered command groups, to support registering and deregistering
default command groups at runtime, allowing an application to support multiple implementations
for the same command group.
* Fixed an issue in MCUmgr FS management whereby the semaphore lock would not be given if an
error was returned, leading to a possible deadlock.
* Added support for custom payload MCUmgr handlers. This can be enabled with
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_MGMT_CUSTOM_PAYLOAD`.
* Fixed an issue in MCUmgr image management whereby an error would be returned if a command was
sent to erase the slot which was already erased.
* Added support for image slot size checking to ensure an update can be utilised by MCUboot.
This can be performed by using sysbuild when building both application and MCUboot by enabling
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_TOO_LARGE_SYSBUILD` or by use of bootloader information
sharing from MCUboot by enabling
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MCUMGR_GRP_IMG_TOO_LARGE_BOOTLOADER_INFO`.
* Logging
* Added an option to remove string literals from the binary when dictionary-based logging is used.
* Optimized the most common logging messages (strings with up to 2 numeric arguments). Optimization
is done for code size (significant gain seen on riscv32) and performance.
* Extended logging frontend API to optionally implement dedicated functions for optimized messages.
Optional API is enabled by :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LOG_FRONTEND_OPT_API`.
* Added support for runtime message filtering for the logging frontend.
* Added option to support multiple instances of the UART logging backend.
* Fixed userspace issue for :c:func:`printk` when :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LOG_PRINTK` is enabled.
* Added compile time detection of logging messages that use character pointers for ``%p``.
It must be avoided when dictionary-based logging is used and strings are stripped from the
binary. When an erroneous case is detected, the user message is replaced with an error message
that suggests pointer casting must be added.
* Removed remaining references to v2 logging. Renamed :c:func:`log2_generic` to :c:func:`log_generic`.
* Modem modules
* Added ``TRANSMIT_IDLE`` event to the ``modem_pipe`` module which notifies the user of the pipe
that the backend has transmitted all bytes placed in its buffer using
:c:func:`modem_pipe_transmit()`.
The event greatly increases the efficiency of transmitting large quantities of data if used to
dynamically manage the delay between calls to :c:func:`modem_pipe_transmit()`.
* Implemented ``TRANSMIT_IDLE`` event in all modem backends.
* Extended all modem modules to utilize the ``TRANSMIT_IDLE`` event to dynamically manage the delay
between calls to :c:func:`modem_pipe_transmit()`. This addition reduced the utilization of the
system workqueue while transmitting large, continuous quantities of data, by 86%, while only
reducing the throughput by 12%. This optimization additionally allows lower priority threads,
like the deferred logging thread, to run during the transmission (it was blocked by the
relentless, continuous calls to :c:func:`modem_pipe_transmit()`).
* Improved ``modem_pipe`` event dispatching. The ``modem_pipe`` module now invokes the
``RECEIVE_READY`` event every time the pipe is attached using :c:func:`modem_pipe_attach()`
if it has data ready to be read, and always invokes ``TRANSMIT_IDLE`` when the pipe is
either opened or attached. This ensures event driven users of the modem pipe module can
rely solely on the events to start read/transmit work. A test suite has been added to
complement the improvements.
* Extended ``modem_cmux`` module to support acting both as DTE (user application) and DCE (modem).
With this addition, two Zephyr applications can communicate with each other through their
respective ``modem_cmux`` instances.
* Picolibc
* Updated to version 1.8.6. This removes the :c:macro:`_POSIX_C_SOURCE` definition from the build
system, so applications will need to add this if they use APIs outside of the Zephyr
requirements.
* Added new :c:func:`printf` modes, :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PICOLIBC_IO_LONG_LONG` and
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PICOLIBC_IO_MINIMAL`. These provide applications with finer grained
control over the level of support provided by the library to control text space usage. By
default, the correct level of support is selected based upon other configuration parameters.
* Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PICOLIBC_ASSERT_VERBOSE`. This option, which is false by default,
controls whether the :c:func:`assert` function displays verbose information, including the file
name, line number, function name and failing expression text, when the assertion fails. Leaving
this disabled saves text space.
* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE` can now be disabled while using Picolibc. This is
very helpful in diagnosing issues when using Picolibc as those are often caused by enabling TLS
and not caused by using the library itself.
* Numerous improvements in the library including code-size reductions in areas like printf and
ctype and various fixes in the math library.
* Power management
* Introduced Atmel SAM SUPC functions to allow wakeup sources and poweroff.
* STM32F4 devices now support stop mode thanks to the use of a RTC based idle timer which
keeps track of tick evolution while cortex systick is off.
* :c:func:`pm_device_runtime_put_async()` got a parameter to specify a minimum delay to
the operation. This is useful to avoid multiple states transitions when a device is used.
* Devices that don't need to block when suspending or resuming can now be defined as ISR
safe (``PM_DEVICE_ISR_SAFE``). For those devices, Zephyr is able to reduce RAM consumption
and runtime device power management can be safely used from interrupts.
* Optimizations in device runtime power management. :c:func:`pm_device_runtime_get` and
:c:func:`pm_device_runtime_put` no longer wait for a pending operation to be concluded if it is still
in the work queue. In this case, the pending work is just canceled and the device state updated.
* The Kconfig options below were added to customize the initialization priority of different
power domains.
* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POWER_DOMAIN_GPIO_INIT_PRIORITY`
* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POWER_DOMAIN_GPIO_MONITOR_INIT_PRIORITY`
* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POWER_DOMAIN_INTEL_ADSP_INIT_PRIORITY`
* Crypto
* Mbed TLS updated to 3.5.2. Full release notes can be found in:
https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/releases/tag/v3.5.2
* Retention
* Fixed issue whereby :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_RETENTION_BUFFER_SIZE` values over 256 would cause
an infinite loop due to use of 8-bit variables.
* SD
* Added support for SDIO devices.
* Storage
* File systems: LittleFS module has been updated to version 2.8.1.
* Following Flash Map API macros, marked in 3.2 as deprecated, have been removed:
``FLASH_AREA_ID``, ``FLASH_AREA_OFFSET``, ``FLASH_AREA_SIZE``,
``FLASH_AREA_LABEL_EXISTS`` and ``FLASH_AREA_DEVICE``.
* POSIX API
* Completed support for ``POSIX_THREADS_EXT``, ``XSI_THREADS_EXT``,
``POSIX_CLOCK_SELECTION``, and ``POSIX_SEMAPHORES`` Option Groups.
* Completed support for ``_POSIX_MESSAGE_PASSING`` and
``_POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING`` Options.
* Fixed Coverity-CID 211585, 334906, 334909, and 340851.
* Improved structure and accuracy of POSIX documentation.
* Improved navigation and organization of POSIX Kconfig options.
* Added support to allocate and free stacks up to 8 MB with pthread_attr_t.
* Added support for deferred and asynchronous thread cancellation.
* Added dining philosophers sample application.
* Added support for named semaphores.
* Added a top-level ``posix`` command in the Zephyr shell. Zephyr shell utilities for
the POSIX API can be added as subcommands (e.g. ``posix uname -a``)
* Added support for async thread cancellation and ``SIGEV_THREAD``, ``CLOCK_REALTIME``.
* Added compile-time-constant sysconf() implementation.
* LoRa/LoRaWAN
* Added LoRaWAN remote multicast support with :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_LORAWAN_REMOTE_MULTICAST`
in preparation for OTA firmware upgrade support.
* ZBus
* Replaced mutexes with semaphores to lock channels and implement the Highest Locker Protocol (HLP)
priority boost for the zbus operations. This feature avoids priority inversions and preemptions,
making the VDED delivery process faster and more consistent. (:github:`63183`)
* Fixed documentation for :c:func:`zbus_chan_add` and :c:func:`zbus_chan_rm` adding the timeout
argument. (:github:`65544`)
* Fixed warning when mixing C and C++ files using zbus. (:github:`65222`)
* :c:macro:`ZBUS_CHANNEL_DEFINE` macro is now compatible with C++. (:github:`65196`)
* Fixed parameter order of net buf pool fixed definition. (:github:`65039`)
* Refactored the benchmark sample, adding message subscribers. (:github:`64524`)
* Renamed ``CONFIG_ZBUS_MSG_SUBSCRIBER_NET_BUF_DYNAMIC`` and
``CONFIG_ZBUS_MSG_SUBSCRIBER_NET_BUF_STATIC`` to
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ZBUS_MSG_SUBSCRIBER_BUF_ALLOC_DYNAMIC` and
:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_ZBUS_MSG_SUBSCRIBER_BUF_ALLOC_STATIC`. (:github:`65632`)
