[threadx] ThreadX v6.5.0 is now available

[Frédéric Desbiens <frederic.desbiens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone.

It is my privilege to announce the availability of Eclipse ThreadX version 6.5.0.202601. This minor release introduces brand-new 32-bit RISC-V ports for GCC and Clang, as well as new or improved ports for the Renesas RX series. The 32-bit RISC-V port now supports the XuanTie E906 processor. This release also greatly improves the quality and conformance of our 64-bit RISC-V port.

All of those RISC-V contributions have been submitted independently by unaffiliated contributors. During the 202602 cycle, we will focus on refactoring those contributions into a more coherent whole. Also, while things have been quieter this time for NetX Duo, I heard about two contributors hoping to contribute implementations of vSomeIP and MQTT v5, respectively, in time for our next release. Keep an eye on the dev branch; you could see those contributions show up there well ahead of June.   

New Contributors

We have eleven new contributors for this release. Congratulations and welcome to @akifejaz, @borlandong,  @elliott-bfs, @francisco-merino-quintauris, @goodnorning, @jblanchard-jblopen, @LennSar, @lsoest, @mehmetteren, @parsley  and @spir6s. May your code be bugless and your manager quiet!
