Further thanks go to companies and institutions that +directly sponsored development time. And finally, big thanks to all of you +contributing in so many different ways to make RIOT worthwhile! + + +More information +================ +http://www.riot-os.org + + +Discussions +=========== +* Join the RIOT Matrix room at: #riot-os:matrix.org +* Join the RIOT Forum at: forum.riot-os.org +* Follow us on Mastodon: floss.social/@RIOT_OS + + +License +======= +* The code developed by the RIOT community is licensed under the GNU Lesser + General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 as published by the Free Software + Foundation. +* Some external sources and packages are published under a separate license. + +All code files contain licensing information. + + RIOT-2026.04 "Fire Rizzlease 🫪👍" - Release Notes ============================ From d1a680f773daa8a75078e1634ce087206e01eecf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AnnsAnn Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 16:27:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] VERSION: Bump version --- VERSION | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/VERSION b/VERSION index e9db815c7c0a..b8e8eea53e38 100644 --- a/VERSION +++ b/VERSION @@ -1 +1 @@ -RIOT_VERSION = 2026.04 +RIOT_VERSION = 2026.04.01
