Planning release 0.11

[pmundkur]

It looks like we have enough for a new release.

Some things that seem close to pulling in:

• Ziccif (Add the Ziccif extension. #1630)
• Simple Interrupt Generator (Add Simple Interrupt Generator MMIO device for testing purposes #1645)
• Virtual instruction exceptions for CSRs (Add Hypervisor Virtual Instruction Exception Handling for CSR Accesses #1624)
• Merging Memory Exception/Trap (Implement Memory_Exception as a Trap. #1622)

Please add any you'd like to include, and lets discuss this on Monday.

The last two shouldn't gate the release since they are not user-facing changes. Agreed regarding the first two on your list.

It would be great to get #1647 (or at least a simplified version that changes the default fault for misaligned AMOs to an access fault) in as well.

#1656 (or @Timmmm's potential alternative) would also be a great usability enhancement.

We could also bundle the ACT4 tests by updating riscv-software-src/sail-riscv-tests#38 for the latest changes in ACT4.

It would be great to get that into CI soon, but I don't think it matters for the release since it doesn't impact users.

If we can get #1647 and #1675 approved and merged in the next day or two, I can put out a release over the weekend.

I don’t want it to delay the release and would rather get the release out sooner vs getting the issue fixed first, but if it is easy to do so and someone has time, then it would be good to get #661 fixed for this too.

[pmundkur]

It looks like #1679 and #1468 are pretty straightforward and could be pulled into the release.

[jordancarlin]

Agreed regarding #1679. I'm not sure #1468 is right quite yet (I will leave comments over on that PR).

Closing now that 0.11 is out.
