Hi everyone!

Libreboot 20230625 just came out. New stable release.

Link: https://libreboot.org/news/libreboot20230625.html

Brief summary of changes since 20230423 release:

* Massive build system audit, bugs fixed. Cleaner BSD-like coding style now used for much of the logic.
* Two new boards (HP 2570p and 8300 USDT)
* Microcode-free ROMs available, as alternative to default ROMs that include it.
* gru-* chromebook fixes: more reliable boot/shutdown
* Better error handling in lbmk
* Forked spkmodem-recv from GNU, *pledged* it and re-wrote in OpenBSD coding style

For list of changes since last stable release, 20220710, check 20221214 20230319 20230413 and 20230423 release logs in addition to the new 20230625 log.

Of particular interest to Trisquel people: https://libreboot.org/news/microcode.html

This change is present in the new release, which means that FSDG-compatible boards are now available blobless again, in Libreboot. That includes all the older boards, and the recently added Dell Latitude E6400, a popular one due to not requiring disassembly for flashing:

Greetings; if I understand correctly, if I just get a the corresponding t400 rom from here: (https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/libreboot.org/release/stable/20230625/roms/), I will have a blobless librebooted t400 that complies with the RYF certification, correct?
