We've been working (for years now) to transition the ownership
of eCos from Red Hat (and others) to the Free Software Foundation.
This is *finally* entering the last phase and once we've tidied up
the code and made the ownership official (change around all the
Copyright notices, etc), there will be a new official release.

Don't expect it real soon - there's a boatload of work to be done.
Also, as always, care will be taken before this "release" is
blessed as such.  This means testing, etc, over all the platforms
that we can cover.  Again, more time.

In the meantime, the anonymous CVS is still (and will always be)
your best source of the most up to date eCos code base.

What does it take to make an official release? 
What would it take to start making regular releases?
Is someone already working on this?

Yep.

Unlike most projects, we don't make regular releases. So don't let the
fact there has not been a release for a few years make you think the
project is inactive. Use the head of the CVS repository.

Most of the work is nowadays in porting to new hardware platforms. The
core of eCos and Redboot has been stable for years.
