Or get it from Git:

Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.

Again a fairly active cycle with 940 changes from 89 unique
contributors. I'm once again very happy to see so many "new" people next
to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

- Arch:
  - Add LoongArch64 architecture support

- Toolchains:
  - ARC toolchain updated to 2024.12
  - Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2025.08-1
  - GCC 15.1.0 added, 12.x dropped, 14.x is now default
  - GCC 13.x updated to 13.4.0, 14.x updated to 14.3.0
  - Default to Linux 6.16.x kernel headers

- Misc:
  - Various tweaks to utils/generate-cyclonedx for better SBOM
    compatibility and project name/version customization

- New defconfigs: BeagleY-AI, CoolPI 4B, Freescale i.MX91
  Freedom, LoongArch64 EFI, QEMU LoongArch64 Virt, Raspberrypi
  Compute Module 5 IO

- New packages: containers-image-config, distribution-registry,
  llvm-runtimes, lua-lrexlib-pcre2, msgpack-c, opencl-headers,
  opencl-icd-loader, pocketpy, python-apscheduler, python-crc,
  python-log-rate-limit, python-sdbus-modemmanager, soapy-sdr,
  vulkan-sdk

- A large number of build fixes for gcc >= 15. A number of old
  unmaintained packages have been removed: libebur128, liboauth, libolm,
  libsvgtiny, libwebsock, netstat-nat, netsurf-buildsystem,
  python-dunamai, python-poetry-dynamic-versioning, thttpd

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

The next release will be 2025.11. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of November and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2025.11.1 is out. For longer support consider the 2025.02.x LTS
series instead.
