Zephyr 4.1.0
############

We are pleased to announce the release of Zephyr version 4.1.0.
Major enhancements with this release include:

**Performance improvements**
  Multiple performance improvements of core Zephyr kernel functions have been implemented,
  benefiting all supported hardware architectures.

  An official port of the :zephyr_file:`thread_metric <tests/benchmarks/thread_metric>` RTOS
  benchmark has also been added to make it easier for developers to measure the performance of
  Zephyr on their hardware and compare it to other RTOSes.

**Experimental support for IAR compiler**
  :ref:`toolchain_iar_arm` can now be used to build Zephyr applications. This is an experimental
  feature that is expected to be improved in future releases.

**Initial support for Rust on Zephyr**
  It is now possible to write Zephyr applications in Rust. :ref:`language_rust` is available through
  an optional Zephyr module, and several code samples are available as a starting point.

**USB MIDI Class Driver**
  Introduction of a new :ref:`USB MIDI 2.0 <usbd_midi2>` device driver, allowing Zephyr devices to
  communicate with MIDI controllers and instruments over USB.

**Expanded Board Support**
  Support for 70 :ref:`new boards <boards_added_in_zephyr_4_1>` and 11
  :ref:`new shields <shields_added_in_zephyr_4_1>` has been added in this release.

  This includes highly popular boards such as :zephyr:board:`rpi_pico2` and
  :zephyr:board:`ch32v003evt`, several boards with CAN+USB capabilities making them good candidates
  for running the Zephyr-based open source `CANnectivity`_ firmware, and dozens of other boards
  across all supported architectures.

.. _CANnectivity: https://cannectivity.org/

API Changes
***********

Removed APIs and options
========================

* The legacy Bluetooth HCI driver API has been removed. It has been replaced
  by a :c:group:`new API<bt_hci_api>` that follows the normal Zephyr driver
  model.

* The ``CAN_MAX_STD_ID`` (replaced by :c:macro:`CAN_STD_ID_MASK`) and
  ``CAN_MAX_EXT_ID`` (replaced by :c:macro:`CAN_EXT_ID_MASK`) CAN API macros
  have been removed.

* The ``can_get_min_bitrate()`` (replaced by :c:func:`can_get_bitrate_min`)
  and ``can_get_max_bitrate()`` (replaced by :c:func:`can_get_bitrate_max`)
  CAN API functions have been removed.

* The ``can_calc_prescaler()`` CAN API function has been removed.

* The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_POSIX_NAMES` option has been
  removed.  It was a legacy option and was used to allow user to call BSD
  socket API while not enabling POSIX API.  This removal means that in order
  to use POSIX API socket calls, one needs to enable the
  :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_POSIX_API` option.  If the application does not want
  or is not able to enable that option, then the socket API calls need to be
  prefixed by a ``zsock_`` string.

* Removed ``video_pix_fmt_bpp()`` function that was returning a *byte* count
  and only supported 8-bit depth to :c:func:`video_bits_per_pixel()` returning
  the *bit* count and supporting any color depth.

* The ``video_stream_start()`` and ``video_stream_stop()`` driver APIs have been
  replaced by ``video_set_stream()``.

* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_WIFI_NM_WPA_SUPPLICANT_CRYPTO`

* The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_RUNTIME_EXCLUSIVE` option has been removed
  after being deprecated in favor of :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PM_DEVICE_SYSTEM_MANAGED`.

* The ``z_pm_save_idle_exit()`` PM API function has been removed.

* Struct ``z_arch_esf_t`` has been removed. Use ``struct arch_esf`` instead.

* The following networking options have been removed:

    * ``CONFIG_NET_PKT_BUF_DATA_POOL_SIZE``
    * ``CONFIG_NET_TCP_ACK_TIMEOUT``


Deprecated APIs and options
===========================

* the :c:func:`bt_le_set_auto_conn` API function. Application developers can achieve
  the same functionality in their application code by reconnecting to the peer when the
  :c:member:`bt_conn_cb.disconnected` callback is invoked.

* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NATIVE_APPLICATION` has been deprecated.

* Deprecated the :c:func:`stream_flash_erase_page` from Stream Flash API. The same functionality
  can be achieved using :c:func:`flash_area_erase` or :c:func:`flash_erase`. Nevertheless
  erasing of a device, while stream flash is supposed to do so, as configured, will result in
  data lost from stream flash. There are only two situations where device should be erased
  directly:

  1. when Stream Flash is not configured to do erase on its own
  2. when erase is used for removal of a data prior or after Stream Flash uses the designated area.

* The pipe API has been reworked.
  The new API is enabled by default when ``CONFIG_MULTITHREADING`` is set.

  * Deprecates the ``CONFIG_PIPES`` Kconfig option.
  * Introduces the ``k_pipe_close(..)`` function.
  * ``k_pipe_put(..)`` translates to ``k_pipe_write(..)``.
  * ``k_pipe_get(..)`` translates to ``k_pipe_read(..)``.
  * ``k_pipe_flush(..)`` & ``k_pipe_buffer_flush()`` can be translated to ``k_pipe_reset(..)``.

  * Dynamic allocation of pipes is no longer supported.

    - ``k_pipe_alloc_init(..)`` API has been removed.
    - ``k_pipe_cleanup(..)`` API has been removed.

  * Querying the number of bytes in the pipe is no longer supported.

    - ``k_pipe_read_avail(..)`` API has been removed.
    - ``k_pipe_write_avail(..)`` API has been removed.


* For the native_sim target :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_NATIVE_SIM_NATIVE_POSIX_COMPAT` has been
  switched to ``n`` by default, and this option has been deprecated.

* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_BUF_ACL_RX_COUNT`

* All HWMv1 board name aliases which were added as deprecated in v3.7 are now removed
  (:github:`82247`).

* The TinyCrypt library has been deprecated as the upstream version is no longer maintained.
  PSA Crypto API is now the recommended cryptographic library for Zephyr.

* The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MODEL` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MANUF` have been
  deprecated. Application developers can achieve the same configuration by using the new
  :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MODEL_NUMBER_STR` and
  :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MANUF_NAME_STR` Kconfig options.

New APIs and options

  fancy just list the link, that should contain the documentation. If you feel
  like you need to add more details, add them in the API documentation code
  instead.

      the Device Information Service (DIS). The :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MODEL_NUMBER_STR`
      and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MANUF_NAME_STR` Kconfig options are now used to set the
      string values in these characteristics. They replace the functionality of the deprecated
      :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MODEL` and :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_BT_DIS_MANUF` Kconfigs.

Other notable changes
*********************

..
  Any more descriptive subsystem or driver changes. Do you really want to write
  a paragraph or is it enough to link to the api/driver/Kconfig/board page above?

* A header file has been introduced to allocate ID ranges for persistent keys in the PSA Crypto API.
  It defines the ID ranges allocated to different users of the API (application, subsystems...).
  Users of the API must now use this header file to construct persistent key IDs.
  See :zephyr_file:`include/zephyr/psa/key_ids.h` for more information. (:github:`85581`)

* Space-separated lists support has been removed from Twister configuration
  files. This feature was deprecated a long time ago. Projects that do still use
  them can use the :zephyr_file:`scripts/utils/twister_to_list.py` script to
  automatically migrate Twister configuration files.

* Test case names for Ztest now include the Ztest suite name, meaning the resulting identifier has
  three sections and looks like: ``<test_scenario_name>.<ztest_suite_name>.<ztest_name>``.
  These extended identifiers are used in log output, twister.json and testplan.json,
  as well as for ``--sub-test`` command line parameters.

* The ``--no-detailed-test-id`` command line option can be used to shorten the test case name
  by excluding the test scenario name prefix which is the same as the parent test suite id.

* Added support for HTTP PUT/PATCH/DELETE methods for HTTP server dynamic resources.

* Driver API structures are now available through iterable sections and a new
  :c:macro:`DEVICE_API_IS` macro has been introduced to allow to check if a device supports a
  given API. Many shell commands now use this to provide "smarter" auto-completion and only list
  compatible devices when they expect a device argument.

* Zephyr's :ref:`interactive board catalog <boards>` has been extended to allow searching for boards
  based on supported hardware features. A new :rst:dir:`zephyr:board-supported-hw` Sphinx directive
  can now be used in boards' documentation pages to automatically include a list of the hardware
  features supported by a board, and many boards have already adopted this new feature in their
  documentation.
