Browse source 
This change incorporates the final statistics for the 26.06 release and
changes it from upcoming to the final version of the notes.
- Add a section for Project Updates
- Update the introduction, removing the comment about GCC 15, which was
a bit confusing. We can now build the toolchain with GCC 15, but it is
not yet part of the toolchain.

coreboot 25.06
========================================================================
The coreboot project is pleased to announce the release of coreboot
25.06, another milestone in our work promoting the use of open-source
firmware. This release incorporates almost 900 commits from more than
120 contributors, bringing enhanced boot splash screen capabilities,
improved build tooling with GCC 15 support, and expanded wireless power
management features. Along with these headline improvements, we've
delivered numerous stability enhancements and infrastructure updates
that strengthen coreboot's foundation across all supported platforms.

Project Updates
---------------
* In the past several months, the coreboot project has worked to help
groups who can't always push their code directly to the main
development branch, offering to host separate branches and separate
repositories for this work. A document with more details will be
uploaded shortly.
* The coreboot project has had bi-weekly leadership meetings where
project issues are discussed for a number of years, but they've always
been at a time which makes it difficult for people in Asia to attend.
We are going to start a second meeting on the same day as the existing
meeting, but at a better time for Asia. Check the coreboot calendar
for details: https://www.coreboot.org/calendar.html
* After many years, the coreboot mascot finally has a name: Blitz, the
corebunny. This is a reference to the boot speed which can be achieved
through using the coreboot project, and reflects the design intent of
the logo, a European Brown Hare, which is very adaptable and runs at
speeds of up to 72 km/h (45 mph).
