Coreboot 26.09 brings a number of low-level technical clean-ups and improvements, the Coreboot firmware is now build for the C23 programming language, a lot of Google Chromebook happenings as usual, and there is also a lot of activity around the AMD EPYC Turin (EPYC 9005 / Zen 5) bring-up in conjunction with AMD openSIL.
