How to install Libreboot in 2024?

Hi all . I currently have version 2023.06.25 installed, stable. Tell me how to install the latest version 20240612? I see a lot of changes here https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbwww/commit/d8bcd5c7044e28c6e20778ea25f6b907092a7e52 If I understand correctly the mechanism for introducing blob objects has changed, how can I check the ROM after I run the command $ ./build roms t440plibremrc_12mb

I'm not sure what you mean by "checking the ROM"...

  Hello . I mean, how do I know that there are blob objects embedded in the ROM, without which my laptop won’t turn on, I mean mrc.bin
  Previously I could check this using the command:
  ./cbfstool grub_t440pmrc_12mb_libgfxinit_corebootfb_usqwerty.rom print
  
  Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

That’s an oddly specific question. When else but now? Did you arrive by time machine?
