This release focuses on performance and maintenance, specifically enhancing the NAND flash simulator. It improves sector read performance by skipping unnecessary main data reads when they are not required.
Important notice about version numbers
In the past, new versions of ThreadX and its companion components (NextX Duo, USBX, FileX, GUIX, LevelX) were published only when there were changes to the codebase. This led to discrepancies in version numbers across components. The Eclipse Foundation security team recommended that we move away from this approach, as it makes it harder to track things from a cybersecurity standpoint.
Going forward, we will keep version numbers aligned by publishing a new version of every component every quarter — whether there have been changes to the codebase or not. The release notes will clearly state if a specific release is simply a version number update.
