Description

Creating a draft PR for the release that was originally expected on the Apr 22nd, but now appears pushed to the 28th. postponed to May 4, 2026.

Fixes #2435

Motivation and Context

  • @sxa had some suggestions on dropping x390, so those are includedd
  • Changed the default
  • No longer has Yarn v1 include. Verifed by running the update script after copying the folder
  • Missing the Unofficial Builds Apline SHA. This will require an update after the actual release

Testing Details

Example Output(if appropriate)

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Other (none of the above)

  • My code follows the code style of this project.
  • My change requires a change to the documentation.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.

Thanks for putting this together @nschonni!
And based on:

@sxa had some suggestions on dropping x390, so those are includedd

since they're captured in here I'm happy not to have my PR merged for 25 and stick with it changing from v26 :-)
