+title: Tasks for the next stable version release of Libreboot
+...
+
+Libreboot now has an issue tracker, at
+<https://notabug.org/libreboot/libreboot/issues>. The purpose of this page is
+to list current high priority tasks, which are desirable and/or required for
+the next release.
+
+Libreboot releases happen whenever Libreboot is in a state that the maintainers
+agree is suitable to be considered for making a new stable release. This is to
+be determined by overall consensus, per release.
+
+This page is updated periodically, to reflect the issues currently open on the
+bug tracker.
+
+Port x86 to the Paper build system
+----------------------------------
+
+<https://notabug.org/libreboot/libreboot/issues/108>
+
+Paper is the new build system in Libreboot, feature-complete for ARM and with
+many improvements, but the old build system is still used for x86 Intel and AMD
+systems in Libreboot.
+
+Paper has more features, is more modular, is better designed and superior in
+terms of maintainability.
+
+Dump coreboot as firmware upstream. Adopt librecore instead
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+<https://notabug.org/libreboot/libreboot/issues/44>
+
+It may be necessary to keep coreboot, for the ARM chromebooks (rk3288 chipset).
+
+Libreboot is a coreboot distribution, which integrates payloads, utilities,
+documentation, additional patches/fixes and integrates everything together.
+You can think of it like a GNU+Linux distribution, but it's a distribution of
+the boot firmware, not the operating system. Libreboot incorporates coreboot,
+deblobbing it with deblob scripts.
+
+Librecore is a whole new fork of coreboot, and it is its own upstream, with
+many coreboot developers working on it. It deblobs coreboot in-tree, without
+deblob scripts. The only blobs that Librecore distributes is CPU microcode
+updates, and we can simply exclude those in Libreboot, just as the current
+build system deletes them after it downloads coreboot.
+
+Librecore generally has a much more focused team, and their priority is libre
+hardware. It is a very suitable upstream for Libreboot, much more so than the
+coreboot project. Librecore is a very new project (formed in December 2016).
+
+See: <http://librecore.info/>
+IRC channel (on freenode): #librecore
+
+Its main developers are damo22, avph, funfunctor and others from the #coreboot
+IRC channel. Of interest: damo22 and avph used to work for Libreboot, before
+forming the Librecore project.
+
+Current board fixes in Libreboot's git repository, not in the current stable
+release of Libreboot:
+
+-   gm45: use correct vbt string (needed for external monitors)
+-   i945: add fake vbt (needed for external screens)
+-   ga-g41m-es2l: enable use of PCIe x16 port
+-   i945: add support for external monitors in grub
+-   add vesafb mode to ga-g41m-es2l
+-   gm45: add support for external monitors in grub
+-   Fix low-res screens on T60
+-   add hda verb to t60 (fixes mic)
+-   gm45: fix IOMMU
+
+There may be others. The above patches are most likely already merged in
+Librecore's main Git repository. This should be investigated. If so, then they
+can be deleted from Libreboot since they would already be merged upstream.
