The release adds support for the NXP Layerscape LS1028A RDB board and initial kernel support for the MYIR Remi Pi (Renesas RZ/G2L). Key infrastructure improvements include fully automated GitLab-CI pipelines for the folding and branching release processes, automatic copyright report generation and merge request creation, intelligent pipeline cancellation to eliminate redundant builds, and expanded germinate tooling for dependency analysis. The package dashboard now shows diff summaries against upstream Debian packages, and Go/Rust packages were reorganized for license compliance, doubling the target component from ~560 to ~1200 packages. The QA Report App also received a visual redesign with filtering, charts, and logout support. Apertis v2026 will rebase on Debian Trixie. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
