A lighter August with 58 commits across 5 projects. LLVM (RISC-V) led with 50 commits (86%). Also active: OpenSBI (5), glibc (RISC-V) (1), Binutils (RISC-V) (1).
RISC-V International is tracking 100 specifications, of which 51 have been ratified. Currently 23 are in the home stretch (freeze/stabilisation/ratification-ready), and 14 in planning. Specs flagged as "exposed" (at risk of slipping): Long/Batched Dot-Product Extensions (Zvldot and Zvbdot), Confidential VM Extension (CoVE). Keep an eye on these. Across RISC-V International, 73 working groups are tracked — 56 actively meeting, 12 running at low activity. New groups being chartered: Performance Events TG, Parameters SIG, Event Trace TG, Logic Analyzer Trace TG, Speculation Barriers TG .
