On behalf of our local, partner, and community developers, we are proud to announce the general availability of OpenCPI v2.5.0-alpha.1\ This alpha release is meant to showcase the GUI Node Graph that will be completed in the official v2.5.0 release. \ The initial version of the GUI Node Graph along with instructions in the OpenCPI GUI User Guide are the main highlight of this release, but other changes include: \ (1) Addition of optional `--export` flag for ocpidev build for all nouns to update exports on a project level.\ (2) `scripts/install-xilinx-tools.sh` can now run in a non-interctive mode for 2019.2 and newer versions of the Xilinx tools.\ (3) A fix has been provided to allow the skeleton .vhd file for hdl platform workers to generate.\ (4)  Support for the zcu111 osp platform. \ As always, we encourage you to bring other outstanding problems to our attention and appreciate user feedback.\ Respectfully,\ Marisol
