8We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr version 4.0.0.
9
10Major enhancements with this release include:
11
12* **Secure Storage Subsystem**:
13  A newly introduced :ref:`secure storage<secure_storage>` subsystem allows the use of the
14  PSA Secure Storage API and of persistent keys in the PSA Crypto API on *all* board targets. It
15  is now the standard way to provide device-specific protection to data at rest. (:github:`76222`)
16
17* **ZMS (Zephyr Memory Storage) Subsystem**:
18  :ref:`ZMS <zms_api>` is a new key-value storage subsystem compatible with all non-volatile storage
19  types, including traditional NOR flash and advanced technologies like RRAM and MRAM that support
20  write without erasure.
21
22* **Analog Comparators**:
23  A new :ref:`comparator<comparator_api>` device driver subsystem for analog comparators has been
24  added, complete with shell support. It supports initial configuration through Devicetree and
25  runtime configuration through vendor specific APIs. Initially the :dtcompatible:`nordic,nrf-comp`,
26  :dtcompatible:`nordic,nrf-lpcomp` and :dtcompatible:`nxp,kinetis-acmp` are supported.
27
28* **Stepper Motors**:
29  It is now possible to interact with stepper motors using a standard API thanks to the new
30  :ref:`stepper<stepper_api>` device driver subsystem, which also comes with shell support.
31  Initially implemented drivers include a simple :dtcompatible:`zephyr,gpio-steppers` and a complex
32  sensor-less stall-detection capable with integrated ramp-controller :dtcompatible:`adi,tmc5041`.
33
34* **Haptics**:
35  A new :ref:`haptics_api` device driver subsystem allows unified access to haptic controllers,
36  enabling users to add haptic feedback to their applications.
37
38* **Multimedia Capabilities**
39  Zephyr's audio and video capabilities have been expanded with support for new image sensors, video
40  interfaces, audio interfaces, and codecs being supported.
41
42* **Prometheus Library**:
43  A `Prometheus`_ metrics library has been added to the networking stack. It provides a way to
44  expose metrics to Prometheus clients over HTTP, facilitating the consolidated remote monitoring of
45  Zephyr devices alongside other systems typically monitored using Prometheus.
46
47* **Documentation Improvements**:
48  Several enhancements were made to the online documentation to improve content discovery and
49  navigation. These include a new :ref:`interactive board catalog <boards>` and an interactive
50  directory for :zephyr:code-sample-category:`code samples <samples>`.
51
52* **Expanded Board Support**:
53  Over 60 :ref:`new boards <boards_added_in_zephyr_4_0>` and
54  :ref:`shields <shields_added_in_zephyr_4_0>` are supported in Zephyr 4.0.

121
122Architectures
123*************
124
125* ARC
126
127* ARM

133  * Added initial support for :c:func:`arch_stack_walk` that supports unwinding via esf only
134  * Added sys_arch_reboot() support to ARM64
135
136  * Added support for demand paging.
137
138  * Added support for Linkable Loadable Extensions (LLEXT).
139
140* RISC-V
141
142  * The stack traces upon fatal exception now prints the address of stack pointer (sp) or frame
143    pointer (fp) depending on the build configuration.
144
145  * When :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_EXTRA_EXCEPTION_INFO` is enabled, the exception stack frame (arch_esf)
146    has an additional field ``csf`` that points to the callee-saved-registers upon an fatal error,
147    which can be accessed in :c:func:`k_sys_fatal_error_handler` by ``esf->csf``.
148
149    * For SoCs that select ``RISCV_SOC_HAS_ISR_STACKING``, the ``SOC_ISR_STACKING_ESF_DECLARE`` has to
150      include the ``csf`` member, otherwise the build would fail.
151
152* Xtensa
153
154* x86
155
156  * Added initial support for :c:func:`arch_stack_walk` that supports unwinding via esf only

1274    * https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-3.6.1
1275    * https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/releases/tag/mbedtls-3.6.2
1276
1277  * The Kconfig symbol :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG_ALLOW_NON_CSPRNG`
1278    was added to allow ``psa_get_random()`` to make use of non-cryptographically
1279    secure random sources when :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_PSA_CRYPTO_EXTERNAL_RNG`
1280    is also enabled. This is only meant to be used for test purposes, not in production.
1281    (:github:`76408`)
1282  * The Kconfig symbol :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_TLS_VERSION_1_3` was added to
1283    enable TLS 1.3 support from Mbed TLS. When this is enabled the following
1284    new Kconfig symbols can also be enabled:
1285
1286    * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_TLS_SESSION_TICKETS` to enable session tickets
1287      (RFC 5077);
1288    * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_PSK_ENABLED`
1289      for TLS 1.3 PSK key exchange mode;
1290    * :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_MBEDTLS_SSL_TLS1_3_KEY_EXCHANGE_MODE_EPHEMERAL_ENABLED`
1291      for TLS 1.3 ephemeral key exchange mode;

1298
1299* Settings
1300
1301  * Settings has been extended to allow prioritizing the commit handlers using
1302    ``SETTINGS_STATIC_HANDLER_DEFINE_WITH_CPRIO(...)`` for static_handlers and
1303    ``settings_register_with_cprio(...)`` for dynamic_handlers.
1304
1305* Shell:
1306
1307  * Reorganized the ``kernel threads`` and ``kernel stacks`` shell command under the
1308    L1 ``kernel thread`` shell command as ``kernel thread list`` & ``kernel thread stacks``
1309  * Added multiple shell command to configure the CPU mask affinity / pinning a thread in
1310    runtime, do ``kernel thread -h`` for more info.
1311  * ``kernel reboot`` shell command without any additional arguments will now do a cold reboot
1312    instead of requiring you to type ``kernel reboot cold``.
1313
1314* Storage
1315
1316  * LittleFS: The module has been updated with changes committed upstream
1317    from version 2.8.1, the last module update, up to and including
1318    the released version 2.9.3.
1319  * Fixed static analysis error caused by mismatched variable assignment in NVS
1320
1321  * LittleFS: Fixed an issue where the DTS option for configuring block cycles for LittleFS instances
1322    was ignored (:github:`79072`).
1323
1324  * LittleFS: Fixed issue with lookahead buffer size mismatch to actual allocated buffer size
1325    (:github:`77917`).
1326
1327  * FAT FS: Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FILE_SYSTEM_LIB_LINK` to allow linking file system
1328    support libraries without enabling the File System subsystem. This option can be used
1329    when a user wants to directly use file system libraries, bypassing the File System
1330    subsystem.
1331
1332  * FAT FS: Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_FATFS_LBA64` to enable support for the 64-bit LBA
1333    and GPT in FAT file system driver.
1334
1335  * FAT FS: Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_FATFS_MULTI_PARTITION` that enables support for
1336    devices partitioned with GPT or MBR.
1337
1338  * FAT FS: Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_FATFS_HAS_RTC` that enables RTC usage for time-stamping
1339    files on FAT file systems.
1340
1341  * FAT FS: Added :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_FS_FATFS_EXTRA_NATIVE_API` that enables additional FAT
1342    file system driver functions, which are not exposed via Zephyr File System subsystem,
1343    for users that intend to directly call them in their code.
1344
1345  * Stream Flash: Fixed an issue where :c:func:`stream_flash_erase_page` did not properly check
1346    the requested erase range and possibly allowed erasing any page on a device (:github:`79800`).
1347
1348  * Shell: Fixed an issue were a failed file system mount attempt using the shell would make it
1349    impossible to ever succeed in mounting that file system again until the device was reset (:github:`80024`).
1350
1351  * :ref:`ZMS<zms_api>`: Introduction of a new storage system that is designed to work with all types of
1352    non-volatile storage technologies. It supports classical on-chip NOR flash as well as
1353    new technologies like RRAM and MRAM that do not require a separate erase operation at all.

1375
1376    * Support for :c:macro:`O_TRUNC` flag in :c:func:`open()`.
1377    * Support for :c:func:`rmdir` and :c:func:`remove`.
1378
1379  * :ref:`_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS <posix_option_thread_safe_functions>` improvements:
1380
1381    * Support for :c:func:`asctime_r`, :c:func:`ctime_r`, and :c:func:`localtime_r`.
1382
1383  * :ref:`POSIX_THREADS_BASE <posix_option_group_threads_base>` improvements:
1384
1385    * Use the :ref:`user mode semaphore API <semaphores_v2>` instead of the
1386      :ref:`spinlock API <smp_arch>` for pool synchronization.
1387
1388* LoRa/LoRaWAN
1389
1390* ZBus
