Just a moment...

Besides all of the Google Chromebook ports, the other standout is seeing all of the new System76 laptops upstreamed in Coreboot. These System76 laptops are already shipping Coreboot out-of-the-box while it's nice that System76 continues upstreaming these targets for ensuring their longevity and being a good upstream member of the Coreboot open-source community.

Another worthy shout-out is StarLabs with their continued Coreboot efforts. Their Intel Raptor Lake based Star Labs Star Labs StarBook Mk VI is now supported with Coreboot 4.21.

More details on the changes to find with Coreboot 4.21 can be found via the release notes. Coreboot also shared that following this release they will be transitioning development from the Git "master" branch to now using a Git "main" branch. There is also initial work on transforming Coreboot's code from camel case to snake case.
