RIOT-2023.07 - Release Notes

RIOT is a multi-threading operating system which enables soft real-time
capabilities and comes with support for a range of devices that are typically
found in the Internet of Things: 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers as well as
light-weight 32-bit processors.

RIOT is based on the following design principles: energy-efficiency, soft
real-time capabilities, small memory footprint, modularity, and uniform API
access, independent of the underlying hardware (with partial POSIX compliance).

RIOT is developed by an international open-source community which is
independent of specific vendors (e.g. similarly to the Linux community) and is
licensed with a non-viral copyleft license (LGPLv2.1), which allows indirect
business models around the free open-source software platform provided by RIOT.

About this release

This release sees the addition of the openDSME IEEE 802.15.4 MAC.
So far it is limited to 2.4 GHz O-QPSK and drivers that have been converted
to the new sub-MAC architecture yet.

We also have two new supported MCUs: nRF53 and ATmega8. They share common
peripherals with their siblings, for nRF53 only the application core is
supported so far.

Finally, all tests live in subdirectories now, so the tests/ directory is much
more orderly.

288 pull requests, composed of 661 commits, have been merged since the
last release, and 35 issues have been solved. 26 people contributed with
code in 96 days. 6844 files have been touched with 251875 (+) insertions and
224148 deletions (-).
