*****************************************************************************

*** Next ***
- NEW: Added dubby cycles support for SNOR using the normal SPI driver.
- NEW: Disabled priority check on STM32 EXTI interrupts when the default
       ISR is disabled. This allows for fast interrupts.
- NEW: Added support for UART9 and USART10 on STM32H7.
- NEW: Improved MFS to use explicitly non-cacheable buffers for potentially
       DMA-accessible I/O areas.
- NEW: FatFS now functional on STM32H7xx, added a target to the VFS demo.
- NEW: Improved cache settings in STM32H7xx mcuconf.h.
- NEW: Modified SDMMCv2 to allow for uncached buffers, tested on STM32H7xx.
- NEW: Added OCTOSPIv2 driver using MDMA for STM32H7xx.
- NEW: Added demos for STM32H723ZG Nucleo144 and STM32H735ZI Discovery boards.
- NEW: Added support for STM32H723/25/33/35.
- NEW: Updated ST Cube headers for STM32H7xx.
- NEW: Added a Posix-favored shell named "msh" (Mini Shell). The shell is able
       to run sub-apps inside the same sandbox. The shell can either be placed
       statically in flash or loaded dynamically in RAM.
- NEW: Added runnable "apps" capability to SBs, apps available so far: msh, ls.
- NEW: Added ability to load ELF files to SBs.
- NEW: Enhanced Posix API for SBs leveraging the VFS integration.
- NEW: SBs and VFS integration. Each SB can see its own VFS instance.
- NEW: Added integration of LittleFS on top of our flash infrastructure.
- NEW: Added a new MEM_IS_VALID_FUNCTION() macro to RT and NIL.
- NEW: Improved HAL flash interface with mutual exclusion methods, improved
       EFL and SNOR drivers to use it.
- NEW: Added a centralized errors handler under /os/common/utils. It will
       replace those in HAL and SB and will be shared among multiple subsystems.
- NEW: Added a new OOP model under /os/common/utils. It will replace the
       one in HAL and will be shared among multiple subsystems.
- NEW: Changed SB configuration options names to be prefixed with SB_CFG_.
- NEW: Added a new CH_CFG_HARDENING_LEVEL option to RT.
- NEW: Added a chXXXDispose() function to all objects in NIL.
- NEW: Added a chXXXDispose() function to all objects in RT.
- NEW: Added VFS-related commands to the shell, disabled by default.
- NEW: Added a new VFS subsystem (Virtual File System), it allows to assemble
       trees of files from multiple "File System Drivers" into a single tree
       and access it as a whole.
- NEW: Added MEM_NATURAL_ALIGN macro to RT and NIL.
- NEW: Added static initializer for virtual timers in RT.
- NEW: Added new function chHeapIntegrityCheck().
- NEW: Added EFL driver implementation for STM32G4xx.
- NEW: Function chCoreGetStatusX() changed to return a memory region object
       instead of a simple size.
- NEW: RT and NIL upgraded to support the enhanced OSLIB.
- NEW: Memory areas/pointers checker functions added to OSLIB.
- NEW: STM32G0B1 USBv2 driver.
- NEW: USBv1 driver optimization and removal of a potential race condition
       (not demonstrated).
- NEW: Added elfAcquireBus()/eflReleaseBus() functions to EFL driver.
- NEW: Increased stacks size in RT test suite from 128 to 192. added an
       option to override the stack size by defining THREADS_STACK_SIZE
       in the makefile.
- NEW: Added STM32L073RZ-Nucleo64 to USB-CDC "multi" demo. Removed old demo.
- NEW: Added an STM32 WDG "multi" demo. Removed all old WDG demos.
- NEW: Added option to copy vectors in RAM on GCC startup for ARMv6-M,
       ARMv7-M and ARMv8-M-ML.
- NEW: On STM32WBxx added a check on STM32_LSI_ENABLE required by IWDG.
- NEW: Added SPIv2 support also to STM32WB and STM32WL.
