This is the Next-Release project, which is focused on the "next" release of Funtoo Linux.

On 31 July 2022, it was announced that "next" release is now the recommended release of Funtoo Linux. This decision was made because next-release is more updated than 1.4-release -- in particular, it offers support for SiFive_Freedom_U740, third-generation Ryzen and Raspberry Pi 4, due to its updated toolchain.

There are other projects that are related to Next-Release but have their own project -- see Project:Media-Kit.
