From 89131e1615d9b81e8cbe58d617833a0e6e00674c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leah Rowe Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2024 10:00:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Libreboot 20241206 release I encountered a minor build error last night, caused by an oversight during development. I quickly fixed the issue but then decided to spend the night testing a few more mainboards for addition; however if I continue doing this, I'll never make the release. So this is essentially the same as what the 20241205 release would have been, with only a minor bug fix in the build system.
