Looks good to me. To me, the most headline-contributions in the release (from most exciting to least exiting) are:
- groundwork for 64 bit support --> expect support for
native64and maybe first RISC-V 64 bit boards in next release - support for power saving on all supported AVR boards
- ZEP topology in
examples/gnrc_border_router - API to query supported frequencies added to
periph_timer

This might be one of the bigger changes to highlight.

Theses periph_timer_query_freqs changes may also be something to highlight.

They're also something that could be grouped in the change log.

This is not really my turf, but this also looks like a release highlight to me

It's just a small patch that adds the convenience of selecting the topology file from the border router Makefile

That's noteworthy from an inside PoV, but for the audience of release notes (whose priorities are more "what can it do now that it couldn't before"), I think it is not relevant for a spotlight item in this release. |

That's a breaking change that requires the user to adapt their code - the PR contains a short description of what migration steps need to be performed.

| - Breaking change for board definition due to XFA for pointers to defined MTD |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Let's be nice to our users and tell them what thy need to do to fix their boards:
To adapt boards definitions to the new API:
- remove the
MTD_NUMOFdefinition fromboard.h - add
MTD_XFA_ADD(<mtd_dev>, <idx>);to the definition of<mtd_dev>(e.g. themtd_spi_nor_tdeclaration).
For code that references MTD devices:
MTD_0,MTD_1, … defines are no longer needed. Usemtd_dev_get(0),mtd_dev_get(1), … instead.
