Major enhancements with this release include:
* A new, completely overhauled hardware model has been introduced. This change the way both SoCs and
boards are named, defined and constructed in Zephyr.
* A new, completely :ref:`overhauled hardware model <hw_model_v2>` has been introduced.
It changes the way both SoCs and boards are named, defined and constructed in Zephyr.
Additional information can be found in the :ref:`board_porting_guide`.
* A long-awaited HTTP server library, and associated service API, allow to easily implement HTTP/1.1
and HTTP/2 servers in Zephyr. Resources can be registered statically or at runtime, and WebSocket
support is included.
* POSIX support has been extended, with most Options of the IEEE 1003-2017
* A long-awaited :ref:`HTTP Server <http_server_interface>` library, and associated service API,
allow to easily implement HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 servers in Zephyr. Resources can be registered
statically or dynamically, and WebSocket support is included.
* :ref:`POSIX support <posix_support>` has been extended, with most Options of the IEEE 1003-2017
:ref:`System Interfaces <posix_system_interfaces_required>` receiving support, as well as most
Options and Option groups required for :ref:`PSE51 <posix_aep_pse51>`,
:ref:`PSE52 <posix_aep_pse52>`, and :ref:`PSE53 <posix_aep_pse53>`.
* Bluetooth Host has been extended with support for the Nordic UART Service (NUS), Hands-free Audio
Gateway (AG), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), and Audio/Video Distribution Transport
Protocol (AVDTP).
* Sensor abstraction model has been overhauled to adopt a read-then-decode approach that enables
more types of sensors and data flows than the previous fetch/get APIs.
* A new LLEXT Extension Development Kit (EDK) makes it easier to develop and integrate custom
extensions into Zephyr, including outside of the Zephyr tree.
* Native simulator now supports leveraging native host networking stack without having to rely on
complex setup of the host environment.
* Sensor abstraction model has been overhauled to adopt a
:ref:`read-then-decode approach <sensor-read-and-decode>` that enables more types of sensors and
data flows than the previous fetch/get APIs.
* A new :ref:`LLEXT Extension Developer Kit (EDK) <llext_build_edk>` makes it easier to develop and
integrate custom extensions into Zephyr, including outside of the Zephyr tree.
* :ref:`Native simulator <native_sim>` now supports leveraging native host networking stack without
having to rely on complex setup of the host environment.
* Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) 2.1.0 and Mbed TLS 3.6.0 have been integrated into Zephyr.
Both of these versions are LTS releases.
Both of these versions are LTS releases. What's more, :ref:`psa_crypto` has been adopted as a replacement
for TinyCrypt and provides enhanced security and performance.
* A new experimental implementation of the :ref:`Precision Time Protocol <ptp_interface>` (PTP, IEEE
1588) allows to synchronize time across devices with sub-microsecond accuracy.
* New documentation pages have been introduced to help developers setup their local development
environment with Visual Studio Code and CLion.
