| <p>skiboot v6.7 was released on Tuesday November 3rd 2020. It is the first release |
| of skiboot 6.7 series, which becomes the new stable release following the |
| <a class="reference internal" href="skiboot-6.6.html#skiboot-6-6"><span class="std std-ref">skiboot-6.6</span></a> release, first released Wednesday April 22nd 2020.</p> |
| <p>The main reason for this release is the addition of secure variable support and |
| the Mowgli platform. Aside from these feature, this release is largely bug-fixes. |
| However, this is expected since we’re approaching the end of the P9 product cycle |
| and development has largely shifted towards enabling a future processor with a |
| difficult-to-guess name.</p> |

| <span id="skiboot-6-7-new-features"></span><h2>New features<a class="headerlink" href="#new-features" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p>Secure Variable support</p> |
| <p>The secure variable API provides the host operating system with space to |
| store cryptographic keys for OS secure boot. The security comes from the |
| requirement that all secure variable updates be cryptographically signed |
| so the keys used to verify the secure boot chain can only be updated by |
| a user authorized to do so.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>Fleetwood platform support</p> |
| <p>Support was added for the multi-node IBM Fleetwood systems. This support |
| was largely for internal IBM testing purposes and is not, and will not, ever |
| be offically supported.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>Mowgli platform support</p> |
| <p>Support was added for the Mowgli platform built by Wistron.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
