Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr RTOS version 2.3.0.

Major enhancements with this release include:

* A new Zephyr CMake package has been introduced, reducing the need for
environment variables

* A new Devicetree API, based on hierarchical macros, has been introduced. This
new API allows the C code to access virtually all nodes and properties in a
clean, organized fashion

* The kernel timeout API has been overhauled to be flexible and configurable,
with future support for features like 64-bit and absolute timeouts in mind

* A new k_heap/sys_heap heap allocator has been introduced, with much better
performance than the existing k_mem_pool/sys_mem_pool
Zephyr now integrates with the TF-M (Trusted Firmware M) PSA-compliant
framework

* The Bluetooth Low Energy Host now supports LE Advertising Extensions

* The CMSIS-DSP library is now included and integrated

The next release, v2.4.0, is tentatively scheduled for September 25th 2020.

I would like to thank everybody who contributed to this release, be it with code, feedback or documentation.

Thanks,

Carles
