It's nice to see contributions from lots of new people in addition to
the "oldtimers". This time around Gustavoz took the lead with many many
package updates / fixes.
It has been a pretty busy development cycle, with almost 500 commits,
and a number of large scale changes.
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Large number of new packages (34): Systemd, polarssl and a number of
networking packages.
- GCC 4.7, uClibc 0.9.33.1 and support for Linaro external ARM
toolchains.
- Microblaze support (using external toolchain). Xtensa support is
deprecated.
- Additional QEMU defconfigs, including Microblaze and e500 PowerPC.
Defconfigs for Beaglebone, Pandaboard, Freescale mx53qsb.
- Patch series support in apply-patches.sh
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. Thanks to the
autobuilder setup by Thomas Petazzoni we have been able to fix a lot of
different build issues. See the CHANGES file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2012.05_rc1
Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new
features, rather than wait until 2012.05 is released.
Enjoy!
