It's nice to see contributions from lots of new people in addition to
the "oldtimers", and that Gustavo this time beat me to the no1 place ;)
It has been a quite busy development cycle, with more than 350
commits, and a number of large scale changes.
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Support for local packages and package overrides
- Documentation moved to asciidoc - Run make manual to generate it.
- Custom GIT repo support for Barebox, similar to U-Boot
- Internal and external toolchain fixes and updates. Sysroot copying
step optimized.
- Linux kernel extensions infrastructure added. Xenomai + RTAI
support.
- Package dir / name arguments dropped from {GEN,AUTO,CMAKE}TARGETS
- Support scripts moves to scripts, patch-kernel.sh renamed to
support/scripts/apply-patches.sh.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2011.11_rc1
As mentioned in the Buildroot Developer Day report, I will create a
next branch now and start merging in new features, rather than waiting
until 2011.11 is released:

Enjoy!
