Major changes in this release:

  • The APIs are now declared stable. Any breaking changes will be
    communicated by a major version bump from v1.x.y to v2.x.y.

  • West v1.0 no longer works with the Zephyr v1.14 LTS releases. This LTS has
    long been obsoleted by Zephyr v2.7 LTS. If you need to use Zephyr v1.14, you
    must use west v0.14 or earlier.

  • Like the rest of Zephyr, west now requires Python v3.8 or later

  • West commands no longer accept abbreviated command line arguments. For
    example, you must now specify "west update --keep-descendants" instead of
    using an abbreviation like "west update --keep-d". This is part of a change
    applied to all of Zephyr's Python scripts' command-line interfaces. The
    abbreviations were causing problems in practice when commands were updated to
    add new options with similar names but different behavior to existing ones.

Other changes:

  • All built-in west functions have stopped using "west.log"

  • "west update": new "--submodule-init-config" option.
    See commit 9ba92b0 for details.

Bug fixes:

  • West extension commands that failed to load properly sometimes dumped stack.
    This has been fixed and west now prints a sensible error message in this case.

  • "west config" now fails on malformed configuration option arguments
    which lack a "." in the option name

API changes:

  • The west package now contains the metadata files necessary for some static
    analyzers (such as mypy) to auto-detect its type annotations.
    See commit d9f00e2 for details.

  • the deprecated "west.build" module used for Zephyr v1.14 LTS compatibility was
    removed

  • the deprecated "west.cmake" module used for Zephyr v1.14 LTS compatibility was
    removed

  • the "west.log" module is now deprecated. This module's uses global state,
    which can make it awkward to use it as an API which multiple different python
    modules may rely on.

  • The west.commands module got some new APIs which lay groundwork
    for a future change to add a global verbosity control to a command's output,
    and work to remove global state from the "west" package's API:

    • New "west.commands.WestCommand.init()" keyword argument: "verbosity"
    • New "west.commands.WestCommand" property: "color_ui"
    • New "west.commands.WestCommand" methods, which should be used to print output
      from extension commands instead of writing directly to sys.stdout or
      sys.stderr: "inf()", "wrn()", "err()", "die()", "banner()",
      "small_banner()"
    • New "west.commands.VERBOSITY" enum
