It's nice to see contributions from lots of new people in addition to
the "oldtimers".
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Support for uClibc 0.9.32 / NPTL support
- U-Boot / Linux kernel can now be retrieved from a custom GIT repo,
rather than from tarballs.
- Rootfs device handling improvements: Improved device table handling,
initramfs / devtmpfs fixes.
- Toolchain: More preconfigured codesourcery external toolchains,
improved Crosstool-NG support, GCC 4.6.1 / 4.3.6. make
source/external-deps now also works for non-buildroot toolchains.
- A number of internal cleanups. GENTARGETS infrastructure is now also
used for bootloaders and kernel.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

Enjoy!
